‘For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord.’
Because he is a good, good God, his plans are great.
Looking back through old photos last night. Reliving the
years of joy from raising four beautiful kids. The fun of pirate parties. The
thrill of West Coast sails… The summers at Tarbert. The Christmas mornings and
the new babies, puppies, kittens.
It went by so fast. In a blur. We took one step at a time,
living day by day, and all the time, God knew the plans he had for these four
wonderful babies he’d entrusted to us. Praise him that he was always there,
during good times and challenging ones, and that despite us, and because of
him, these kids grew up to be world-changers.
Such a privilege to raise children.
And now we have the fun of interacting with their children.
Feeling like we have more time to be intentional in how we interact, and
perhaps more of a positive influence. And yet, knowing that our clumsy efforts
and words can often get in the way of something better.
Still grateful that God knows the plans he has for these
little ones. That they are destined to be world-changers. Such a privilege to
be their grandparents. Such a joy.
