This is a picture of my daughter, with HER daughters (grandchildren are God's expression of pure joy) four years ago. My daughter's birthday was Saturday and I want to wish her a belated birthday on the blog so all you friends can pray for her. My granddaughters spoke to me on Saturday and said, "Grandma, why did you send Mommy a birthday card that made her cry?" I had sent her a gift and a card ... but she's been missing me and the dam of tears burst at that moment. We're friends as well as mother and daughter and I truly wish things were "as they used to be" when I lived there. I was there for any crisis, there to enjoy my grandchildren on the weekend and give her a break, there for holidays and soccer games. Now, I'm not. I'm sure there's a lesson God would have us learn during this separation, but it's difficult to endure. Most likely, it is to put God first and not get wrapped up in family until HE is the priority. Pray for us and wish Jess a Birthday when you do.

Happy birthday Jess! You're all "growed up" now. I remember when you were as little as the girls in this picture.
Life sure takes twists and turns, doesn't it? But it's all in God's plan and for His good. Seek Him in all you do and you will be blessed.
I love ya!
Amen baby sister. I remember when YOU were as little as the girls in this picture!
