Grandchildren, blessings and obedience

Well,  I am finally saying yes, to God's voice that has been urging me to get back to writing.  I can say it has been a very busy hectic summer,  and it has.  I can say, I'm not a writer, and it's true.  I can say it's very difficult to find a time to sit and do this, and that is true too. But, ultimately, it comes down to ignoring that voice that is inside me telling me to get back to it.  He has even given me ideas of what to post...but, I ignored them.  

So I have asked God's forgiveness and am going to try to get back to posting more regularly.  I know that voice and I know this is what He is telling me to do.  I don't know why.  Hopefully someone will be blessed by what I ramble on about.  

Thank you to those of you who have asked about my blog in the last few months.  It is very encouraging to hear that someone missed it!   I am sorry I also ignored you!  Please forgive me. 

I added new pictures of my grandkids in case you didn't notice.  :)   I have had the amazing blessing this summer of being able to spend time with all of them.  They truly are amazing children. (And I know....all grandparents say that, right?!)   What is actually so amazing is that my sons and daughter in laws trust me with their children!   I don't deserve that trust and am so grateful that God has allowed me that blessing. 

Are you a grandparent?  If so, you know that love that fills your heart to overflowing for these precious children God chose to place in our families.  We have an awesome responsibility to love them, play with them, listen to them, hug them and be the very best grandparent we could be.  God has chosen us to be their grandparent!  That little life, from the tiniest newborn all the way up to the adult is so special!   

I love to watch each one of them as they play and just soak in their differences.  Each one has a special gift from God. Each one is a joy to be with.  And I miss each one when I don't see them for a while!  One of my joys, is to sit nearby while they play  and snap pictures of them when they don't know.  I love the expressions on their faces and the innocence that is there.  They do know I'm there though and will tell me to put the camera away!  I can hear them now....... GRANNY!!!!!!!    NOT AGAIN!!!      Makes me smile to think of it.   

I know this time in my life is a God given gift.  I cherish every moment I have with these children.  (Yes, Kayleigh, even when I'm tired and get grumpy!)   I thank God for them and pray that He will always watch over them, lead and guide their lives and that each one will know Him personally.  I'm thinking you are going to hear alot about my grandchildren as this blog continues.  I learn so much about God as I watch and listen to them.  

It amazes me that God uses everything in life to teach us, to guide us and to lead us closer to Him.  My heart is full.  I am blessed!  Praise the Lord!  

Mark 10:14   When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these....."

Love you all!
