On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

kid tested and grandmother approved

www.pandora.com, Heavenly Lullabies, puts 5 year, 10 year and even 2 year old children to sleep quickly and quietly. These songs tend to have little cricket noises or bird noises playing quietly in the background. I think the boys quiet down so they can hear the noises and then the music lulls them to sleep. They are usually out in about 10 minutes instead of the hour or two it used to take.

Wyatt had been playing www.nickjr.com games and videos for quit awhile. I told him that he could finish coloring his plane but then it was time for bed. He said, "I love bedtime here. It's my favorite time." My heart melted. This king size bed is been awfully nice with the boys and the dogs - all of us piling in and snuggling in under the quilts and the soft sheets.

Christian will be 11 soon. I doubt he'll be wanting to sleep in Grandma's bed much longer. Actually, it is tough for me to get any sleep. Wyatt sleeps one way and Christian the complete opposite. The dogs, even though they are compact little dogs, take up almost as much room as the boys. Thankfully, Nala, when she is here, sleeps under the bed instead of up on top with all of us.

Wyatt has his big truck in bed with us. I wonder if grand daughters sleep with softer toys?

  • Lord, extend the kingdom of your Son.
  • O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end.
