Funny how time goes - especially in a little one's eyes. There is absolutely nothing she can do on her own. She depends solely on her mommy and daddy to take care of her. She cannot feed herself; she cannot change her wet diapers; she cannot take her own baths and how marvelous can things be for our grown up minds to realize her dependency upon her parents to help her thrive in this world.
Now, here she is in her early months of age (around 1 month old) and her mommy and daddy agreed to raise her up in church and to be sure to teach her about Jesus. In fact; I was speaking to Brian (who is my son) not too long ago and he shared with me on Sunday mornings; Sunday nights and Wednesday nights - he will look at her with those big blue eyes and tells her......"princess, let's go see Jesus". Is that not the sweetest thing a mother can hear from her son? Only brings back fond memories of when we promised to keep our son in church and to teach him the values and principals of family and what God expected from christian parents; because you see, that's what God tells us to do in His word. I meditate many days upon my grand-daugher and the love I have for her. I am so thankful to God because I never had a daughter - but I do have my daughter-in-law and I have always looked at as the daughter I never had. I pray that God will always protect and bless them.
"She's beautiful"....I look at her deep blue eyes and wonder in my mind what she is going to grow up to be and how she is going to serve God. I wonder how she's going to look as she gets older; just assuming she will look like she does now; but her baby face will be gone. I better cherish those days now because at the rate time is going now, she will be one year old before we can say good-bye.I'm with her - whether I'm feeding her or changing her diaper; I always smile at her and say...."grand-mommy loves your darlin" and she just smiles so BIG for me. Then she gets excited and frails her feet and arms with excitement. I just can hardly put her down for her naps during the day - that's the love I have for her.
She awakes from her naps in such good moods. I love Christ more than anything in the world and want to serve Him with my whole heart. I love my husband second and my own son whom I love dearly...but, let me tell you - Addison Grace falls right in line behind them. I heard many grand-mothers tell me..."just wait until you have grand-children". It's the life you have never imagined. Well, I'm there now and let me tell you - Addison Grace is my sweet little princess - for sure!
This is funny; her mommy started her on a pacifier in her one month/two month years of age and would have nothing to do with them. She chose her little fingers to suck on. See this sweet little picture of her!!!! ~ Her mommy tucked the pacifiers away for now and said okay..it will be your fingers. I put her up on my shoulders and before long - she's sucking on her two fingers and soon she will be fast asleep. God loves my little Addison Grace and so do I.
Now, do you honestly think I as just a bit biased in my love for her? Every grand-mother out there feels the exact same way as I do with their grand-children...
We all think the sun rises and sits on them. She so has the joy of my life and I enjoy so much being around her because she brings joy to my life. I love to see her happy and smile. Why?, because it makes me happy!
