My grandkids are a constant reminder to me that there are reasons to be in this world and to continue the good fight.
In May we nearly lost Rainy - yes again. She's had another surgery and another birthday (her 9th) and we celebrate and praise God for her.
Fox is doing well and going strong. He's an amazing kid. I love to talk to him on the phone and hear him tell me about his day. He's so smart.Max is a darling who just celebrated his 5th birthday. He love zebras so of course we had to send him some for his big day.
As I said, they always remind me that no matter how bleak things might be - God is still in control. This last month there have been some huge ups and downs - problems that I can't begin to tell you about. It seemed with each of the good things a dozen bad things followed. I felt a little overwhelmed at times, but God remained faithful, and just when I needed it most - He gave me a glimpse of heaven in the eyes of my grandkids.
I'm truly blessed and no matter whether life dishes out the good, the bad or the ugly, I know God will be there and that I don't need to be overwhelmed.

PS - for those who were praying about Jim's diabetes check up - it went fantastically well and his counts were all good.
Such beautiful grandkids--and it's wonderful to know you've told them of Jesus' love for them.
ReplyDeleteAll the experimental recipes and dedication to health have paid off with Jim's diabetes--WAHOOO!
In the midst of the trials and hardships, I pray you see how God shields you from the fiery furnace and how his hand keeps the lions from pouncing.

Hi Tracey,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy how blessed you are to have such wonderful grandchildren. They're precious.
They have a wonderful grandmother!
Jesus speaks through your kindness to other people. You're opening your heart to the ones in need.
Thank you for encouraging words you gave me whem my nephew died.
God Bless,

Thanks for sharing this post and pics, Tracie (your grandchildren are PRECIOUS!). ~ What a comfort to know that our Lord is with us when we go through the "down" times in life - - God is sooo GOOD!

Great news! So glad to know that all the grandchildren and Jim are doing well. God is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Tracie. We continue to remember you and your dear family in prayer. sometimes it is hard to remember that God IS good - all the time! The enemy sure likes to try and convince us otherwise.
