Thanking God for the gift of grandchildren!

There are so many reasons in life to be discouraged. That's more true in this ministry than any other of my life.
Balance is precious...and nothing is a more powerful balancer than the pure love of grandchildren. And no one has more adorable grandchildren than I do!

The world is so full of things to be discouraged about. No matter what the job, negativity is everywhere. God has given us an abundance of things to be thankful for...but those are not the things that ordinarily make the headlines to draw our attention. The dramas of work are often penetrated by negative situations and people. So I am not only thanking God for the extraordinary gifts of unconditional love....and letting that love give fresh eyes for the less obvious -- but richly present positive balances God builds into every day.
