Grandson, Nolan
Okay, so I'm a little proud of my grandson, Nolan...well I'm really proud of my son and daughter-in-law. And I can't forget about Nolan's brother, Eli.
God is a God of redemption.
There is nothing from my past that says I deserve to have the family that I do. I'm not saying that I did everything wrong, but I didn't do everything right either, and I'm not saying that I always did my best.
My family is a place of grace, and I see that grace in my grandsons. They don't know my past. They accept me as their grandpa. Granted, Nolan is a little to young to understand my hugs, yet he allowed me hold him and talk to him for a short time soon after his birth.
"O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption." Psalm 130:7 English Standard Version
Nowhere has this truth been more evident to me than in my family.
For those of you who are grandparents (and others) I invite you to a very special blog, Grandma's Briefs, written by a member of my congregation, Lisa Carpenter. She is an amazing writer and an inspiration to me in writing this blog. Here is the link to her blog. Enjoy!
