There is just nothing to compare with the fun of being with grandchildren. For the past 8 years (exceptions being when I was in Washington for 6 months or so) I have gone into Aurora and spent Thursdays with four of my grandchildren. We have done everything from going to the Zoo to lunch at Chuckiecheese(?). Today I took Natalie to Hobby Lobby to pick out material for a purse. Seems like everyone is into those little colorful purses. You could have dozens of them. Well, Natalie picked out a real cute pattern. There will be three different designs and they blend so well together. Hopefully, it won't take me long to make.
Talking about "blending" together - isn't it nice when we meet people who blend with our personality. Oh, the fun, the laughter, the serious talk, just everything about it makes our conversation great. The Lord, in Psalm 133:1 puts it this way. "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!" A oneness of spirit. I find this at work some days. A customer will come in and the next thing you know we are conversing like we had known each other for months. I guess it is that we "blend" when we allow each other to be ourselves and not expect more. Each person I have come in contact with seems to add something to my life. Something to my memories. Something that I can dwell on and say, "yea, that makes sense." I have found that the average person has about the same difficulties as we all do. So, let's just be kind to everyone and let God do His work through us.
OK, back to the grandchildren. The four in Aurora, Illinois - Cory, Nicole, Natalie, Josh. Our Cory is now in Heaven with his Saviour since April 27, 2008. More on him in another blog. Nicole is 14 and in the 9th grade in Oswego. Natalie is 11 and in the 6th grade, and Josh is 10 and in the 5th grade at Longbeach. Each have their own little personalities and they are really great fun. Nicole beats me in Wheel of Fortune. Nicole and Natalie and even Josh are great swimmers. Josh is a natural in sports. Mainly football. Just as soon as I learn how to add pictures, I will put their pictures in here. Oh no! there's Nicole sleeping!!!!
Well, that's it for tonight.
