More and more changes

Hello Everyone,

I am truly blessed. Yesterday my granddaughter Amelia got to come home. She's a whopping 4 lbs, 10 ozs. She is so tiny but so beautiful. I got to see her youngest brothers reaction......priceless. He was instantly in love. He was kissing her whole face with his open mouth and kept trying to pick her up. He just hit 16 months old. It was unexpected for him to respond that way. His reaction was way cooler than what we thought. He's dealing with some jealousy issues, but that's to be expected. I'm just so happy she's home and healthy. I will update you all if anything changes but I believe only good things are coming their way. My youngest son and his wife have come through some difficult times recently. But, they're holding their own and I couldn't be more proud of them both. I am blessed. So are they!

In other news, it looks like one of my other kids will be going through a divorce. It's sad, but after the things that were said and done, it is obviously the best thing for them. The kids will suffer some but I know my child well enough to know that they won't be lacking in love and all the necessities they might need. I'm not celebrating the end of their marriage or anything but I can honestly say I understand what my child is going through and knowing how tough it is and the long road ahead. She has a good head on her shoulders and the main reason I'm talking about this is because they need prayer. We all need prayer, but a little extra never hurts and will be definitely appreciated. Please and thank you ahead of time for any prayers you may offer on their behalf.

My other son is there with my daughter to assist with whatever she may need as far as babysitting and just general all around kind of shoulder to lean on. I sure wish I could be there but her dad and step-mom are close and with her brother there as well, she's not going it alone. I'm very thankful for that.

This is enough for now. I just want to remind everyone that difficult times are not something you can avoid. Everyone has their share. It's not the nature of the difficulty that defines who we are, rather it's how we respond to those times. I've heard it said that God doesn't give us anything that we can't handle. I disagree completely. God uses these times to remind us that He's there and can help. The Lord never wants us to suffer needlessly, but He allows these times to teach us and guide us to be better people and closer to Him.

Until next time, Be Wise, Be Kind, Be True..............and stay on your knees during difficult times, it helps!

Love to all, Patty
