'Grands'

Hey,
Because I'm tired, I'm not going to blog today, except for this little bit. You'll all have to wait for tomorrow for another installment.
We had our 3 grandson's overnight Friday. We had a blast and so did they. To have them come running to greet us and give smiles, kisses and hugs warms this grandma and grandpa's hearts abundantly. When the Lord says that He blesses us abundantly, He means it. We are blessed.
Because Nate isn't two yet, he's still working on balance and how to handle emotional challenges. After talking with Ethan (5) and explaining that in some ways Nate is still a baby and we need to help him, Ethan stepped up to the plate and delivered 100%. He encouraged him to play together with Nolan and him and made sure that Nate wasn't knocked over when the other two boys were playing (roughhousing to be exact!) Nate stood by and laughed big belly laughs over the boy's antics.
The three boys are starting to become 'cousin's' in the truest sense. It's a slow dance that starts while they're young and increases in tempo as they grow. This is the first time we've had them all without parents since they were all born. I wondered how it would go, but was amazed at how they helped me, played well together and just enjoyed being boys.
All this is written to say, God is good. He knows what we need and provided, abundantly. He blesses us even in the midst of our not being sure something will be a small or big blessing, or even a blessing at all. He sustains us when our energy level dimiishes and when we have to rise early because one little boy decides it's time to wake up and we need to join him!
Because God loves us, He works mightly to bring joy into our lives. Often I tell Him that I can't wait to see Him face to face and He shares with me: look into the face of a child and see Me. He's right, as always.

Enjoying His 'little' blessings,
Sandy
