I am so blessed!
This past Friday I had band practice with the band I sing in, CrossRock. My wife Terry came to practice just to listen. All the band members know how hard it has been losing our first grandchild, Grace. They also know that singing with the band has been very helpful to me. Well, they had all gotten together, with a couple others not in the band but very dear friends, and gave Terry and I a gift. The card was beautiful and the gift even more so. They had gotten us a prayer shawl. I didn't know what to say. All I could do was give each of them a big hug. Of course Terry cried and I teared up a little, too. I will treasure it for the rest of my life!
Thank you my blessed friends!!
Then on Saturday we got to babysit for another friend from church. Actually two friends since they are married and we love them both. They had band practice for Sundays service and they needed someone to watch the two little ones, daughter 1 1/2 yrs. old, son about 4 months. What a delight! We read books, talked on the play cell phone, tickled and laughed.
I even got a nap in! The little one got hungry, so I fed him a bottle and he went sleep. Him and I layed on the couch with him lying on my chest. That was a special moment. I kept thinking that someday soon, that will be me and my grandchild, God willing.
I know sometimes people might think that it would make me sad being around other peoples little ones. It does sometimes make me think about Grace and "what if", but I know that one day I will see her beautiful face and we will be together forever. I do love being with children. I don't care how bad your day has been, when you see a little one smile or laugh it makes it all good!
We are blessed!!
