Sydney's Birthday

Today we celebrate the birthday of my youngest grand-daughter. We ate pizza and Funfetti cake. We watched "Baby Mama" and laughed out loud as we watched. Mostly, we enjoyed the time together.

It's funny how we percieve time. It feels as though her parents just brought her home from the hospital. We oohed & aahed over her perfection. We watched her sleep and we smiled. We prayed over her and for ourselves. We thanked God for her and asked to be wise teachers to her.

As she matures, we still pray to be wise for her. We watch her grow and worry and applaud. Grand-children are a delight and a joy. And a huge responsibility.

I pray I am the grand-mother she deserves. I must be or God would not have brought us together.
