It is autumn and leaves are falling, temps are cooling and a new granddaughter is waiting on her special cloud to make her earthly debut.
What a blessing to be alive to see my grandchildren born into this world. Joining our two grandchildren, Aidan and Regan, will be their new cousin, Olivia. I am anticipating what this fragile, dainty little girl will be like as she grows up with Kyle and Amanda. Taking after her parents, she is sure to be a happy child with a fun-loving spirit to enjoy life. As she attends Sunday school with all the many babies being born into their church family, I pray she will grow to know and love God, the Father and Jesus, his son.
Like Regan, she is likely to enjoy all things pink and girlie. Her other grandmother Kathy has used her decorating talents to help Amanda create a sweet garden of pastel flowers and butterfly motifs. Little Olivia will surely spend many joyful hours playing, laughing and slumbering in her very own bedroom. What a fortunate child!
After Monday, Olivia Kathryn Martin will start learning about her new world. It will be her first day of training for a lifetime of growth. Please pray with her parents, grandparents and family that she will grow up to be a lovely, Christian woman. If she is anything like her mother, I know she will.
May God go with Amanda and Kyle as they venture into this new world of parenthood. May God bless them with wisdom, patience and kindness as they guide and nurture this new life entrusted to them on earth. God go with them. Through Jesus, I pray this to Him. Amen.
