My heart wonders how much we miss out on when we don't look deep into what God has given us. Spending a week with Susan, Ily and Madilynne has made me realize that I am blessed beyond measure and just never saw it like I did this week. If we would only take the time to see how much God loves us and wants the best for us we would see all the "things" that are out of our control and how He has orchestrated our lives to see His giving!

Giving back to our family is just a little of what He has given us. I want to be able to show His love to my family so that my granddaughters will know His love! We go home a little less of ourselves because we leave a part of our hearts with our granddaughters and our children. God knows how we long to be with them b/c that's how He is with us. He longs to spend time with us, to share in our joys, our sorrows and all the things that we think are too small for Him to notice. I want to tell my granddaughters about my God, my friend and pray that they will want to know Him too!
