On my mind and in my heart…..

Wow! This new role I have as a Grammie, is better than I ever imagined!

Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be a mom and God gifted me with 3 children. I never gave thought to being a Grammie and now I am. Another gift:)

Each day for the first three days of her life I held my granddaughter, sometimes for several hours.  I was mesmerized at everything she did. Her little facial expressions, her grasping my finger with her tiny hand, the big stretches she would take and yes, her little cry is even precious to me.

When I am not with her, I have a treasure I am embracing.  In my mind, as I wake in the morning, I can see her tender face. Then throughout the day if I turn on my phone she is there, if I look at my desktop, she is there, if I sign into Facebook she is there too!

I began thinking about God’s great love toward us as those created in His image. I can only imagine what it must be like with God in relation to us.  He is always with us, so always on His mind and in His heart.  God’s love toward us is no match for the love that we have for each other, certainly His is far greater.  Over the years though, I have been gifted with what I will say is a taste of this love. Now, with my granddaughter, there is a beautiful new season of “on my mind and in my heart kind of love”. My heart is full :’)
