What a very blessed day it was today! The birth of another grandchild! Not just any grandchild...this one is the sister of the little angel we lost last year! GOD IS SO GOOD...AND HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER!!! While my heart still aches for our little granddaughter, and always will, the birth of this baby feels like a healing balm being applied to that gaping hole in my heart. Some have asked why I was never angry at God for allowing our little Mckena to be taken away...I simply say, How can I be angry at the God who GAVE her to us? What else can you do? Be angry? Grow cold toward God, and others? Lash out? Not for me...I choose to praise the God who gives! He is the giver of life...both physical and spiritual life. Thank you, Jesus! Your Love amazes me beyond words...the right words just wont come! I worship you, I love you for loving us so tenderly. The word redemption just keeps coming to mind. Yes, this feels like redemption! A life was taken...and another given! You did that for me, too, Lord...for all of us! You gave YOUR life, that I might find MINE...in YOU! Thank you, my dear Father, for that precious gift of life...the life of our new little grandbaby...and the eternal life that I possess because of YOU! I am so very thankful! O my...just in time for Thankful Thursday...Thanksgiving! I have SO MUCH to be thankful for!!! And to think that you have blessed me this way...uh...19 times now...gulp! Mark 10:13-16 says: People were bringing little children to Jesus to have Him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. 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. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it. And He took the children in his arms, put His hands on them and blessed them. While I was holding my new little grandchild today, I thought of how helpless a newborn child is; how dependent they are on their parents to care for them. I long to be dependent on my Father like that...to trust Him with every need and each hurt that I have. How about you? Lord, thank you for this precious new life that you have given. Father, make me the grandmother that she needs me to be. Help me, Lord, to influence her life in a way that leads her straight to you. Be near to her parents as they nurture her. Give them wisdom, Lord. Draw their hearts closer and closer to each other and to You...the giver of life. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
