We’re Grandparents!
Wow! Can you believe it? James and I are grandparents. Yes, you heard right – Daniel and Christa are expecting their first little blessing in the spring of next year. We have a house full of aunts and uncles and us two old people.
So, please rejoice with us as we experience God’s blessing once again…only this time in the form of our children’s children. Praise God!
After Daniel and Christa announced their news, our little Emma (4) looked at me with wide eyes. She said, “Mama, I’m going to be an aunt?”
I said, “Yes, Emma, you will be Auntie Em!”
She looked at me with eyes even wider than before, “I am? – While I’m still little?”
“Yes, Emma, while you’re still little.”
Apparently later, after a discussion with Christa, it was discovered that she thought I was to be the mother and Christa was going to be the baby’s sister. Christa is a sister after all.
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. Psalm 127:3

Congratulations! I know how exciting it is because we are going to be grandparents in September, Lord willing. Our son and daughter in law are due on September 10th.

Dear Stacy,
I had the privilege of getting to meet you again at the Marriott at Williamsburg on Thursday night. You might recall that we spoke breifly and I was with my family. We wanted to congratulate you and James on becoming grandparents! What a wonderful blessing! How very exciting! God is so good! We will keep Christa and Daniel in our prayers. My daughter and I continue to be blessed by your blog.
Blessings,
Michele Hope
