Fragile



My heart is fragile - sometimes I forget how fragile. My old heart was bursting with gratitude Went to a concert yesterday with my beloved great nephew and his terrific grandmother (my SIL who also went to high school with me!) I was in the hospital waiting room the day Gnephew was born, we've prayed for and cried over and rejoiced about young man for many years - right now it appears a major transformation has occurred in his life. Gnephew is the one with black tshirt standing with concert artist Jamie Slocum - it was blessed on Buhlaland and I remember now how fragile my heart can be.

Soli Deo Gloria to God alone the Glory.

It's nice to meet your grand nephew and I really enjoyed the video. I'm going to send your link to my sister and her son.

Major transformations are a fantastic blessing to those to which they happen and those privileged to witness.

It's amazing how fast they grow up. It does make your heart melt.

Wasn't always sure he'd get the opportunity to grow up and mature - he appears to be doing both and God does have a way of resolving issues in surprising ways.

OK I wasn't sure about what to call him - we've always said great nephew since I am his great aunt (not grand aunt) I considered grand nephew but that didn't sound right - so I googled and sure enough - it is either ! LOL -- whew

Yes, we are blessed, and praise the Lord that God still moves in the hearts and lives of the young generation! I KNOW it does your heart good to see that! And, yes, aren't we glad our rush hour traffic consists of tractors and trailers? :)
