On Birthdays




Today is Isaiah's birthday (the "prophet" as his parents call him when they don't want him to know who they are speaking about) He's a whole 3 today. I only got to talk to him on the phone, but he and his brother will be spending the weekend with us. Ron wondered what store I had robbed for all the presents I have for him. (there are only 4) It's been weeks since I've seen the boys so they will have to get used to the camera again. We'll do a whole photo shoot, I think!! I confess I'm a bit nervous, and can only hope the weather will be mild so we can go play in the park! No DVD player at our house so we will have to rely on our creativity! Do I remember coloring? Or Ooblek? These boys are high energy, I know. At least I've stocked the refigerator...chocolate milk, cheese, ice cream, pudding, yogurt, all of Isaiah's favorites! (at least they were the last time they were here) They'll get to go to church with us, and help grandpa as he works on his little project in the basement.

I am so blessed by these boys, though. I am amazed at how incredible I feel about being a grandparent. "Grandchildren are the crown of the (semi) aged...." and "behold children are a heritage from the Lord...blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them." While they bless me, I would put out my hands and bless them and pray this ferverent prayer that "they serve the Lord God with a whole heart and trust in Him from their youth onward. Their heritage is secure in Him alone."
