Last week I wasn't really able to blog because I was busy babying. Well, actually, my daughter was babying--I was waiting to welcome said baby. New life always gives cause for celebration, and grandbabies are a blessing of which I am especially fond. Please join me in giving God praise for the precious new soul who entered the world on August 17th!
My daughter named her daughter Kaisyn Faith. (She should have named her Rerun, because that's exactly what she is--a duplicate of her mommy. Zip back to last week's post, look at newborn Kamryn, and you'll see that I'm right.) Kaisyn weighed in at exactly seven pounds--seven pounds of perfection, in my not-so-humble opinion--and is a titch over nineteen inches in length. She fits just right in the curve of my arm. And she's already established a spot in my heart.
Looking into Kaisyn's sweet, innocent face brings tears to my eyes. She's so beautiful. So small and helpless. There's so much of life awaiting her... My greatest prayer for this little girl is to realize, very early, how much Jesus loves her and to choose to love Him in return. (Already she seems to enjoy Gramma singing "Jesus Loves Me" while we rock together, the same way her mommy did just two short decades ago.)Ah, new life...
The same week of Kaisyn's birth, another "baby" arrived--
May God bless you muchly as you journey with Him! ~Kim
The same week of Kaisyn's birth, another "baby" arrived--A Whisper of Peace, my brand-new historical novel from Bethany House. I'm not willing to give away my darling granddaughter, but I'd love to place a copy of the new book in a reader's hands. So...leave a comment and/or send someone to leave a comment (and have them indicate you sent them). I'll draw a winner from the respondees, and if someone you sent is drawn, you'll get a book, too, just for sending them. Sound fair?
And now, please excuse me. I need to go cuddle my Wugmump...
May God bless you muchly as you journey with Him! ~Kim
P.S. -- A few snippets in time with our little Wugmump...
What a beautiful Granddaughter! She looks so sweet, precious, and innocent.
ReplyDeleteReading what you wrote brought tears to my eyes as it took me back to the time my daughter was born 37 years ago! My how time flies. Her Daughter, my Granddaughter is a replica of her also.
I would love to win a copy of your other baby, your new book "A Whisper of Peace". This sounds like a wonderful read.
God Bless you and your family!

ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter is the most precious of God's Gifts!! What a wonderful means of showing us His power. I would love to win your book! Are you sure that I couldn't win the baby? Hate to say this, but I am starting to want grandchildren- would never tell my daughter that- she is 21 and in her last year of nursing. Lol

Thanks for sharing your talent with your readers, Kim. I feel so inspired when I read your books. Reading your words helps me find my own words when I turn on my laptop.
Love from Texas,

Kim, Yes! She is beautiful. Our baby girls are all granddaughters. And every one as sweet as can be. You are very blessed. Thank you for sharing. God bless!
ReplyDeleteGrandbabies are the grandest gift from God. I have six and love each with all my heart.
ReplyDeleteYour new granddaughter is beautiful. So much fun is ahead of the both of you as you get to know one another and she realizes that no one can love in the same way as a grandma.
I love reading your books and would be thrilled to win a copy of your new novel.
Congratulations to you and your family.

What a precious gift!! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Look at all that hair! My two little ones were cue-balls. :) They had hair, but it's so fine and light, it's hard to see. Of course, my daughter more than made up for it with the crazy curls she has now, but still very fine hair and very soft. If it were straight, it would be to the middle of her back.
ReplyDeletePrecious little angel you have now. Grandbabies are like a second blessing and treasure to grandparents. They get to relive the joys all over again...without the sleepless nights and only minor incidences of diaper changes.
I'd love a chance to win your latest book baby. And I'll announce it on Facebook/Twitter as well. Congrats...on both counts!
So Beautiful! She makes me pine for my little girl at that age. She's four now, with long golden curls, but she was born with a shock of black hair on top.
ReplyDeleteHave fun spoiling that gorgeous girl, Kim.
I haven't read any of yours yet, so I'd love to win the book.
