A couple of Sundays ago, I was sitting in meeting in Shields with several of my children and grandchildren. I knew my time with the kids was coming to an end, and that always makes me sad and a bit weepy... to say the least. I'm a big sobby bawl baby when it comes time to leave my babies. My babies of all ages.
Nearing the end of the meeting, someone started a fast paced song, God's Wonderful People. I love the thrill that I feel, when I get together with God's wonderful people... That song makes me smile, and now I'll be humming it as I go to sleep.
Well, Chris & Jennifer's little one year old princess started dancing to the tune. It was so adorable to see pure baby joy in action as she was sitting on my lap. For some reason, it hit me right then. My emotions took over as I realized how much I'm going to miss during the next few months of this babies life. I could not stop the tears. At least I didn't sob... but I was crying.
My darling little granddaughter climbed off my lap and grabbed her snuggly blanket and handed it to me as if to say her snuggly blanket always gives her comfort, and I could use it.
I'm thankful for little moments like these and for the memories I can cherish.

That is so sweet and cute. Thank you for sharing. You will certainly miss a big part of her life, but at least you will be able to hear what she's been up to and what is going on. I also love that song. It is so true of me. I feel wonderful contentment when with God's people. And a glorious thrill! I can't imagine how magnified it will be when I get to come into the beautiful wonderful Faith.
