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.

delight



Yesterday, after Wyatt's football game he was walking with his parents and talking with his friends and he realized that he had lost sight of me. I heard his voice saying, "Grandma? Grandma! Where is Grandma?"

I heard his voice at the same time I saw everyone turn their heads as they were looking for Grandma. One lady saw me and she smiled. You know, that smile that said, "Isn't this the best thing in the entire world?!?"

And it is. I do not have words for how his cry for me made me feel. There he was surrounded by his Mommy and Daddy, who he loves with all his heart. He was surrounded by his friends and team mates but he wanted me. : ) He didn't want to lose sight of me.

I have no doubt that God loves me because he let me become a Grandma and experience this delight - this love, this shining glory of having three Grandsons who delight in me.

God is good.

Prayer List

  • Thank you Father thank you.
  • 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. Amen.

  • God please bless Michael, Lindsay, and their families with faith, wisdom, and compassion. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • God thank you for the gift of my co-workers who have shown me that it is good to show that I am a Christian.

Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
