Before I share my photo collage for today,
let me just say that y'all ROCKED my WORLD yesterday with all your comments about the SIGNS that God gives you to show HIS LOVE just for you! The more I read, the bigger the smile and I even got the "Holy Spirit chills" several times! Things like that is totally why I blog.....
to share HIM with others and to be encouraged and lifted up by those who share HIM with me!
About all I can say is WOW.....
and THANKS to ALL of YOU.....
and to HIM for allowing each of us the opportunity to express the joy and satisfaction of serving a RISEN SAVIOR!!!
Now.....
onto one of the greatest blessings that Pappy and I have ever received. I had a date this week with our FIRSTborn GRANDson. He had to wait his turn because he got into a bit of trouble and waiting was his punishment. Somehow, Nannie felt like she was the one being punished. Do y'all feel that way when your GRAND's get reprimanded? I totally think it's a GRANDparent thing, don't you? We know it's necessary, but it still hurts. Kinda reminds me of how God punishes me when I do wrong! I need it, but man does it ever HURT!!!
This sweet boy didn't ask for much. He wanted to go to Bass Pro Shop, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, and the Russell Stover candy outlet (he's a boy after Nannie's own heart with the stop for chocolate). Pappy and Nannie got him the knife and he was one happy young man. He's growing up way too fast, but he still looks like that precious baby boy in the picture with the hat. I didn't get a picture of where we ate, but he chose Buddy's Barbecue and for dessert a hot fudge cake. He even decided where we would sit, which suited Nannie just fine because it was a little booth on the side where we wouldn't be seen. You see, he's quite the introvert.....
again, just like his Nannie.....
and his precious Momma!!!
(something that most people don't see about me.....
another post for another day)
What a blessing to be able to stay home and get to spend as much time as I do with our GRANDchildren. I try my best not to take that for granted. God is so very good.....
ALL the time!
(even those times when it's hard to see that)
HOPE everybody has an awesomely blessed weekend!!
Have fun.....
stay safe.....
enjoy life!!!
Breathing in Grace,
