Dear God,

The day finally arrived!  I sat in my car on level five in the central parking lot at the airport waiting for two of my grandchildren.  When 13-year-old Stella texted, "We just landed!" my heart full of love beat wildly.  What is better than spending time with grandchildren?  When I drove down to the area where they were waiting, I jumped out of the car, threw my arms around them, squeezed them tight and kissed them several times on their forehead.  I was so happy.

You give us so many gifts, Loving God, grandchildren is one of them.  You bless us with love, history, memory, sharing, and wonderment.  You allow us into their tiny, young lives and there like a seed that grows, we watch and bless and love and care for and give and receive and make stories together and so much more.  You wow us with smiles and shared endearment. 

Blessed God,
thank you
for bringing
Sophie and Stella
to us.
Thank you
for all
you have
given us together.
We are blessed,
so blessed
by you.

Love, Andrea
