"May Your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord,
even as we put our hope in You.
Psalm 33:20-22
Oh, there is not greater joy than to hold a grandchild in your arms!
I could hardly control my emotions (OK, I didn't!) as I would hold Whitney, looking down at her beautiful face and thank God for her.
The great joy of being able to be with her for a few short days was hardly more than this Grammie's heart could endure....but I did and enjoyed every second of it.
What a marvelous picture of sheer joy on the face of all three of us!
God was blessing us even in the midst of the trials of Whitney's challenges. There is nothing more precious than family!
Here Whitney had gotten all made up (thanks to her other grandmother, Rose Ann Stire, from California) and fixed a beautiful luncheon for me. So much detail went into the luncheon...special placemats handmade by Whitney, place cards with each name on them at our special seats at the table, a specially designed centerpiece on the table, and the food specially planned and prepared by Whitney. It was so special for me.
I have no make-up on in this photo because I cried it all off in sheer joy of how Whitney showed her love for me!
Thanks, honey! You did a beautiful thing for your Grammie. I will NEVER forget it!
The joy to see Chelle and Whitney was above and beyond what I could ever have dreamed, but God blessed yet more and more......
He brought my youngest daughter, Stephanie from California to be with Chelle and Whitney!
I could have held this pose for hours....no, I could held it forever. It felt so good to touch my two daughters and encircle Chelle, Whitney and Stephanie in my arms.
"Thank You, Father, for the fulfillment of Your promises to me, your child. I love You. Amen."
I really think there must have been some action going on behind my back (if you know what I mean)! Those smiles are awfully mischievous!
Oh, how can I say thanks, for the things God has done for me. Things so undeserved that He gives to show His love for me.......
To have my two daughters with me, my grand daughter, my friend, Rose Ann, all in the beautiful home of the girl's dad, Bill Boyd and his marvelous wife, Amanda, was like my heaven on earth.
"To God be the glory! To God be the glory! To God be the glory for the things He has done.......
Early in the morning, before the sun came up, Whitney followed me out to the deck where I was enjoying precious time with my Father. She curled up with the blanket her mommy made for her in Istanbul, Turkey and waited patiently until I finished and then she snuggled with me.
Here we were looking up into a tall tree and tried to make out an object setting on a branch. Whitney said it looked like a big shoe, Grammie said it was a bird. Whitney won! As Hurricane Ike had torn through the Houston neighborhood, a pair of men's shoes were tossed high into the tree.
The joy for me to hear Whitney's giggles, feeling her heartbeat against me, holding her close to me, caused tears to well up in my eyes in gratitude that God spared this little gals life and saved her eyesight!
Does prayer work?
As this Grammie........
IT SURELY DOES!
