You have no choice but to allow me to deviate from my normal posting. You see, I am no longer a surrogate grandparent to friends’ children. I am now Nana, just back from a trip to see and hold my first-ever grandchild, Colton Lewis Stocking. He was born September 1, weighing 8 pounds, 5 ounces, and measuring 21 1/4” long. Three weeks later, he already weighs 10 pounds, 15 ounces, and has grown to 22 1/4″. You experienced grandmothers understand my elation, and those of you yet-to-be grandmothers will have my full enthusiasm when your time comes around.
I’m overjoyed with this little fellow, even though he is 1100 miles away! At least the days are gone for film cameras, waiting to develop pictures, make copies, and stick them in the mail. Now we have digital cameras, card readers, internet, and instant sharing of the most up-to-date pictures. How thankful I am for these technological advancements!
Mom, Dad, and son
My heart overflows with thanksgiving to the Lord for my children and my children’s children, and for His promises to them of righteousness and truth.
Psalm 103:17 NIV But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord ‘s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children —
Isaiah 59:21 AMP As for Me, this is My covenant or league with them, says the Lord: My Spirit, Who is upon you [and Who writes the law of God inwardly on the heart], and My words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouths of your [true, spiritual] children, or out of the mouths of your children’s children, says the Lord, from henceforth and forever.
Thanks for letting this proud nana beam!
