Help Meet’s Helper

Tuesday, “little sister”, you were inducted into the illustrious group known as  Grandmothers.  This honor was bestowed upon you when you were ambushed by love at the sight and sound of your new-born granddaughter, Izabel. 

Other members of the group warned you of that near heart-exploding, overwhelmingly emotional moment but you never quite believed them until… until you saw, touched and smelled the tiny miracle brought forth from the one who mere heartbeats ago, or so it seemed, was just such a tiny miracle resting in your arms.

Ellen, you will never outgrow the breath-taking love Izabel surrounds you with every time you hold her.  Each milestone she reaches will make your heart swell to the point of exploding.  Yet there is always room for more. 

Suddenly you have unlimited patience, ability to walk away from any task because she needs you, an absolute need for a rocking chair, and all the time in the world to sit and rock, talk, giggle, and play.  The dust, dishes, laundry etc. will still be there when Miss Precious Obsession goes home.  Enjoy her, for you know just how quickly she will grow up.

God has given you a precious gift.  Learn from the examples He has given you in our grandmothers and our Mom.

Welcome to the club!  You are going to be one fantastic Grandmother.
I love you!
