Do I Ever Need to Catch Up...

If you are a new follower of this blog, let me just say that all the entries dated 2017 were actually written over a period of years and were transferred here in 2017. But I am behind! The last years of Grammie Ruth's life were largely taken up with concerns and cares of her. So this blog was set aside for more pressing issues. In health care, we call it "triage". That is, things are done according to the urgency. But life doesn't stay on hold waiting for us to finish what we are doing before the next event happens. So I need to catch up, for sure.

Let's look at some great grandchildren who have joined us over the past SIX years --

This picture of Isaac and Grammie Ruth is one of my very favorites.

Isaac is Erika's son. This photo was taken at Emily's baby shower when she was expecting Calvin. I wanted to get a "generations" picture, which I finally got. But Isaac and Grammie were having so much fun with each other that it was hard to get them to look at the camera. But we love that picture of what "family" is about!

The next Great grandchild to join us was Justus, Scott's and Kelsey's son. We were so happy to be in Wisconsin when he was born on the day after Christmas in 2016.

In this picture Grampie is holding him. This grandfather (and grandmother) surely do love the little ones that the Lord has sent into this family. We pray that they will grow up to be men of God.




And now I need to get more pictures and add to our great grandson collection!
We now have Callen, another Isaac, and Henry. In another month or so, we are adding Dallas.

That will make 7 great grandsons so far.

The Bible teaches us over and over about the blessing of having children. See what it says in Proverbs 17:6 - "Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
