Grandma Judy

Life has it's way of giving and taking. I am coming up on a milestone birthday so I guess I'm old enough to start looking back on my life.

For some reason, I have had a blessed life. Wonderful childhood with parents who absolutely did their best to provide everything we needed and most of the time, wanted! We were never in want even though my Dad was a sole provider and we just lived month to month like everyone else in our sphere.

However,the greatest provision was a spiritual background that has long been the rock in my life. We were not sent to church, we were taken. But church, in itself, is not what made the difference. It was having a personal relationship to Jesus and how He made a difference in everything we did.
How I thank my parents for that heritage!

Now, at the later years of my life, the Lord is still blessing me. I am going to be a Grandmother in January!!! I'm sure most of you who read my post come over from my daughter's blog because she is the one who really has the talent for an interesting post. But if you haven't read her announcement, please go to www.kellyskornerblog.com and read for yourself how great God is and how He has worked a great work in our lives!

Words fail to tell you how we feel about the prospect of a new baby, but I know if you have children , you understand! I sent Kelly a little package a week or so ago(I just couldn't help myself...I needed to buy baby stuff) and in that package I included a letter written to hubby and me over 34 years ago when my two little old aunts heard the news of Kelly's approaching birth.
They said they were thrilled and how it would give two old ladies something to look forward to!
I love that letter so much that I wanted Kelly to see how our family looked so forward to her coming and now we look forward to the new grandbaby! Isn't it wonderful to come full circle?

Isn't God good? You can't outgive God!

Hey, now I will be living with an old grandpa!!
