God is Love, and Love is Family

Well Thank God for his hands on my grandson. I know most of you know by now about Elijah. I know that Gina has been blogging about him. And I just want to thank God for everyone's prayers. You know the word of God says that two or more gathered together in his name it shall be done. Gina reminded me of that this morning but it was worded differently. She is my loving daughter and she is also my balance. Most people have husbands, and since my husband is already in the throne room. She has been my balance through out the years. And I thank God for her. When I have been cranky and yesterday I was. She can say mom your cranky. Well okay I think she is right. I would think to myself. And she was. I just came back home from eville. I had to get my haircut. So I can keep my beauty. LOL. No vainness there huh. I am joking. And I was thinking on the way home. How blessed I am with the children I have. And you know. God does give us the kids we have. No one else was to have those children. I look at things in such amazement. I had to be a working mother. Not by choice. And I missed out on so much with my children. I feel at times I deprived them of me. Cause I would come home, had to do school with some of the girls. Supper had to be made, laundry had to be done. Couldn't go to bed till it was done. And on the weekends no fun till all work was done. I missed on so much with them. But at the same time they teach me so much. I sat in amazement. And watch the girls do things. I have the opporunity to watch Gina on a daily basis, and she is so amazing. The other day we were at Becca's are bible study group. And she was preparing coffee making sure everyone had what they needed. Then Gina was there and Becca wanted to have lunch for us. So yes I am very blessed with the daughter's. I know Dixie is so busy with her 5 kids. She works and then on her days off when I talk to her. She is cleaning and doing laundry. Always something to do. But remember one thing never be to busy to talk and to listen. God is so good to me. And I do not even deserve his gracious abounding love. I have been picturing the cross in front of me. And Christ stretched out on it. And this is what it says to me. I loved you this much. And he died. But I can't take time to say thank you LORD. So here is the moral of my writing. Take time to smile at someone today. They may need it real badly. And heck you might even feel better.

God bless
