Our youngest grandson Reid's birthday is next week, and we'll celebrate his party this Saturday. He likes John Deere stuff, because his daddy feeds cows and drives a tractor (what better reason?); he'll be two.
We're also expecting another grandson next week, on Reid's birthday as well. This will be #9 for us: four boys and five girls. We're so blessed to have so many wonderful grandkids - they're all beautiful intelligent children (and I am NOT prejudiced a bit). Each one is a joy to be around, and I couldn't be more proud of them.
The happiness they give us helps out in tough times, too. We're facing the possible loss of two friends - while I'm trying to be positive and remember that God is in control, I'm human. I know each of us will die at some point, but when it's a friend or family member, it's hard to face.
I'm sad, because when we lose them, I'll miss them. I'm happy, because I know they'll be in heaven and I'll see them again one day. I know once they get to heaven, there won't be any more illness for them.
A word for you- if you've got loved ones, tell them how you feel. It may be your last chance... if you've got children or grandchildren, give them an extra hug and some sugar (that's what my grandma used to call a kiss, just in case you're not from around here). It will sweeten you up.
If you're not sure about heaven and whether you're going, please take the time to find out. I'd hate for you to miss such a good thing. If you don't have someone you can ask, you're welcome to contact me. I'd love to share the good news I have with you...
