THIS GRANDMOTHER’S PRAYERS

…have been answered so many times over. Once again, this morning my heart is overflowing with joy and praise. The first news of the day is that our youngest grandchild put on Christ in baptism last night. Abraham Enoch Koen, welcome to the fold of God.

Parents and grandparents alike know the hope of waiting as they see their family grow, being certain than it will come to pass in good time. We see the signs of readiness and our prayers increase in number and intensity. Protect, dear Lord, his/her heart and soul until those leanings have matured and transposed into the reality of obedience to Your divine will.

Yesterday’s rejoicing is of particular significance to Wayne and I as Abe is the youngest of our grandchildren (15), all of whom now are Christians. What joy! What joy!

The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad.  (Psalms 126:3 ESV)
