My children and grandchildren are blessings indeed

August 2, 2008 by gloria.

I am back from visiting my two daughters {Jennifer and Leigh} in other states than Colorado, and also Jennifer’s children and I want to tell you that there is no greater thrill in this life, than holding your “children’s children” as the Bible calls them. Jennifer has a newborn daughter, and she is so sweet, and precious, and she loves to hear singing! She focuses her eyes on your face when you sing to her! It always amazes me how wonderful newborn babies are and how fascinating. I am content to watch a newborn for hours. They coo, and wiggle about, and make baby noises, and at first their eyes sort of wander until they develop eye muscle control and then they are able to focus on their mother, or those who hold them frequently and recognize them. And my other absolutely GRAND children are as sweet and wonderful as always too. The Bible says that the rewards of serving GOD are seeing your children’s children [paraphrased] . Seeing your children’s children reassures you of several things: 1) you were a good enough parent and taught your children to survive, 2) they are on the right track by producing children, 3) the promises of GOD are true, and real, 4) the material wealth you may have collected in whatever quantity has a purpose of enabling you to help your children and grandchildren. I do not have sons but I have a son-in-law and soon to have another son-in-law as my youngest daughter Leigh is getting married this October.

There are many ways for a woman to achieve success and I have tried many of those, including the work as owner, publisher, editor, writer, artist for Life Media & Publishing LLP and words that WORK,LLP and Tapestry of LIFE TV,LLP; and also a long career as a Registered Nurse, and artistic efforts,but the greatest thrill of my life is my GRANDchildren. I capitalize that word ‘grand’ because they are grand in the sense that they are the ‘crowning’ acheivement of my life, my flesh and blood and they are thriving, and I thank GOD for that.
