And the gift goes on

In 2009 one of the big kids that played in our front yard, began to live in our house. Our children were: 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15 at the time. This special young man moved almost seamlessly into our lives and hearts. He brought amazing strengths and determinations.

Instant big brother!

“I want that child,” I had told God, While I stood looking out the window. And He let us have him! For 5 precious years, before he bought his 1st house. Then soon after, married his beautiful wife… and now, a baby girl. ❤️

Sweetness is being a Grandma.

Ah, the joy of seeing God fulfill our hopes and dreams… years of prayers! Far beyond what could possibly have been asked for. He is so very good -to the last drop. In places I can see Him moving …and places I can not. I will forever trust He has a plan.

I remember times of feeling completely inadequate, utterly unhelpful, without a clue what to do or how to pray. Yet, He was there, ahead of my pitiful game. Prepared for my lack of skill, already weaving and working all things together for good and of course… for His Glory!

Because that’s just how He rolls. With gifts that keep on giving.

“Bless Yahweh, O my soul, and all within me, bless His Holy Name. Bless Yahweh, O my soul, and do not forget all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquity, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with loyal love and mercies, Who satisfies your life with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Psalm 103:1–5
