Puzzle for you....
1 + 1 = 2 right?
how bout this.
1+ 1 = 6
6 + 3 = 17
17 + 1 = 19
19 + 1/2 = 19.5
Now I will admit I have a strange mind. Tell me your thoughts on what you think this may be.
I'm not sure where this is going tonight. I seem to be blank, but thought maybe if I just start it will come together.
It's been a really great weekend. Lily turned 1 this week and we celebrated her birthday Saturday. Chris and Ashley just closed on their new house Friday, so we were able to have her party in her new home. Worked out great cuz it rained all day. New house is nice and big to hold all of us.
Sarah and the kids came up to visit and go to the party. That is always wonderful! I love having them at my house. I got to spend time playing with Abigail, Benjamin and Catherine. It makes this granny's heart overflow! I missed Sean, but he had to work. Hope for next visit for him to get to come too.
I could sit here and type away for hours about my fantastic grandchildren. But you may get bored as I tell you about how proud I am of the father Chris has become, and how awesome it is to watch Brandon follow the path God has put on his heart for him. How beautiful, but getting waaayyy too grown up Kayleigh is. And Layla is adorable. (She likes that word!) Ayden is my Bible study buddy. Abigail is so pretty and such a fun helpful little girl. Benjamin is so handsome. Looks just like his daddy. And I love joining in his world. Catherine is joy. So happy and smiling all the time. Ashley is a great mom, I'm so glad Chris chose her! (Ashley is in here because she married Chris and is now counted a grandchild!) And little Lily is just cute cute cute.
So there they are. My joy, my blessing from God. I love each of these special people God has chosen to put in my life. They each have something very special about them. I don't know of a blessing God can give on this earth that means more to me than these grandchildren. And first great grandchild!
I guess you can see where my mind and heart are tonight. Sarah and the kids went home, and I miss them. My house gets very quiet after the kids are here and then leave. But that's the way it is supposed to be. They have their own lives and Bob and I have ours, it just means it is more special when they come again.
How many of you have grown children? Grandchildren? Isn't it amazing to watch them? To see them change and grow. To watch my own boys with their children makes me so proud to be their mom. They are all awesome fathers. And they have all chosen beautiful smart wives to be great mom's to their children. I love them all!
Where is this going? I'm just rambling tonight. Thinking about life and family and God. How God has brought us all together. We learned in BSF last week that God chose each one of us for the family He put us in. We were not born into our families just by chance. Isn't that amazing. God chose the country we were born in. He chose the circumstances we were born in. He knew us before we were born and loves us unconditionally. You ever wonder why God chose to put you in your family?
We all have a purpose. In our family and our life. What is the purpose of my life? And yours? The purpose of my life is to know God, to love God, to enjoy God and to glorify Him. How am I going to do that? One way for me is to love my children, grandchildren, daughters in law and every other person He chooses to put in our family.
Going to end tonight with just saying God is great. God is beautiful. His face is what I seek.
When His eyes are on this child, His grace abounds to me. He is the love of my life. All the glory belongs to Him. Each grandchild I have is an amazing beautiful example of God's love.
Thank you my Lord and Savior!
