Some of you might know that my Poppop passed away last month. It was a hard time for all of us. I feel peace knowing that he is going to live forever in heaven with our Savior Jesus. I feel comfort because I know that I will see him again someday. A few days before my Poppop died he called my mom. Poppop wanted to be sure that Nana would be fine and taken care of. Well, she will be, because my Nana is here in our home! Nana has moved in with my mom downstairs and as far as I know she plans to stay here for good! However, I did hear her mention that she may become a 'snowbird'. A snowbird is what Nana calls the older folks who spend their winters in Florida where it is warmer of course. I don't mind the idea of her being a 'snowbird' because I know she will always "fly North" for the summer. If you didn't notice, I am overjoyed about this; God has blessed me by allowing my Nana to live here with us. My children are blessed too. Oh, how happy they are, all three of them are creating a wonderful, strong, and close relationship with their Nana. I love it when Isaiah runs up to her and plants a smacker square on her lips. I know she loves it too! I couldn't be happier that my kiddos will have the privelage to grow up with their grandmother and now their great grandmother too. You know, it's not often that children are blessed in this way! Nana is adjusting well to her new life, though some days it's jam-packed full and busy-bouncy. I sence that she loves the adventure anyway and I’m certain that she loves the attention she is receiving from the little ones. To be honest, I can't get enough of 'Nana's Hugs', and she makes me feel like a little girl again when she takes me by my cheeks and kisses my face! I wouldn't traid those kisses for anything! I think it would be fair to say that we all feel a little fuller now that Nana has come to live with us!
Dear God,
Thank you for relieving my Poppop of all the years he felt pain. And thank you for taking all his worries away. Thank you for placing my Nana back in my life. God, thank you for loving me so much. God, thank you for blessing me and my family each and every day. You are an amazing God. You make all sadness go away and You replace it will complete joy!!
In Jesus' name, Amen
