I adore my children....however, there is nothing like grandchildren. Of course they can do no wrong...LOL! I try to be depressed....but, OH NO....my little grandson son who loves to call me Manna, comes charging at me with all his love and smiles ...screaming to the top of his lungs...MANNA! If that isn't enough the girls come running to tell me secrets. I think they just want to mess up my hair! The secrets often have to do with "Can we stay all night?"
How could any one say no to such sweet secrets. Each and everyone of my 12 grandchildren are my "favorite one".

I'm glad that I am God's favorite child also. He loves all my secrets. He especially loves it when I come running calling His name. I'm so excited that He has forgiven all my sin...as if I had never done anything wrong. Who can be depressed if we only keep close to Him!

A NEW YEAR...A NEW START

I don't know why...but, the start of a new year, always makes me feel fresh. It's like every thing that happened in the past year is gone and forgotten. Everything is washed away and all is new. That's exactly how I felt when Christ forgave me of my sin at salvation. Everything was washed away with His shed blood and all was made new. As a christian, we can have that every day. Only, if we would but go to Him on a daily basis and ask for it. Every day can be a new start. I'm looking forward to the day that I'll no longer have to do that. I'm looking forward to the day I'll see Him face to face. I'm beginning to understand ....the longer I am saved....I'm feeling closer to Heaven... and further from this life! Its seems as though eternity is getting closer and closer! I hope I am coming across as morbid. I feel a longing in my soul to be with Christ. I'm so excited at the prospect...I can hardly put it into words.
I'm not even OLD yet (LOL). I can only imagine as I grow older...how that feeling of being closer to Heaven will grow! It is so wonderful being saved...and knowing that this life is only a stepping stone
to an eternity with Christ. Happy New Year!
