This is just a fast little post. Last night our family was invited over to our (middle son's home), to celebrate my birthday. It was such a precious night. We laughed so much.......the boys started reminiscing about their childhood as they were growing up. Our oldest son Jason is the funniest guy you would ever want to meet. They way they all goofed around made everyone laugh so hard that our tummies hurt! It was a good medicine for the soul. We were not perfect parents, but one thing our kids know......they were loved!
Our Tonya (daughter in love) gave me a gift. I took a picture....(will show later). She had bought these adorable little boxes. They matched the table setting.....it was adorable! Anyway inside the boxes were love notes........one each from the grandkids. Each one brought a tear. Then I read hers. It is wonderful when there is peace between your daughter in loves. I thanked each child as I read their note. Their faces were priceless. A good night was had by all and fun fellowship. I have that night etched in my heart!!!!!
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. This has been my prayer for my children. 3 John 1:4
We have trained and encouraged our children in the ways of the Lord. It is wonderful when you see the fruit of your labor.....now there are the grands........praying for their precious souls........that they will choose Jesus all the days of their lives. I don't have to worry.........God loves them more!
Hugs to your day.......dangerous weather for some of us in Kansas tomorrow.
