Babies are Wonderful

Babies are wonderful because they grow up to be really wonderful big people.  This week we were blessed with the arrival of Amy Elizabeth, our first great grand child.  She has beautiful red hair and doesn't know night from day.  Our precious grand daughter and her husband presented the family with this wonderful gift.  I can only say I want to hold her and kiss her and tell her I love her and to be a good girl like all her aunts and her Grammy and her Momma.
The best thing about babies is that they grow up.  I remember with joy, her Mother when she was born and as she grew and how great life was with her.  I thought she had done a great job when she had three super girls and let us be part of their lives.
But the icing on the cake was when she decided to go to college and get a degree and then went on to Seminary and just graduated in time to make it to E's birth.  This child has a lot to live up to.  I hope it doesn't overwhelm her, but she looks to have a determination that will see her through it.  She has a strong Momma that will help instill that strength of character in her and her Grammy and Aunties will keep her on the right path.  God knows what he is doing and this child will be blessed and the family will be blessed in watching her grow.
Thank you, God, for giving us this child.  May we be worthy and guide her in the path you would have her go.  Shalom, little E
