BEST NEWS EVER!!!!
« on: May 20, 2007, 09:54:00 AM »
MY BABY IS MAKING ME A GRANDPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Lord has blessed us with the first grandchild! My daughter and her husband will make good parents. They have been married for a couple of years. We have watched as they take on life together as a couple and been reassured and comforted in how well they have become a couple.

Now, parents! I get to care for and introduce this little wonder to what it is like to have a Grandpa. I have such great memories of my Grandpas. I am going to try and provide that for him/her with God's guidance.

Oh, and the best of all is my daughter accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior this past week!!! I have been praying for years now. It is all in His timing. I have learned patience and to trust in the Lord. I heard of the news late last night by phone. I will be seeing her at church this morning! Better bring some kleenex....Praise the Lord!

Camo! Yeah, I have so much to do! My biggest challenge is going to try and not do too much! I can't wait to get the little tike a bow. I think I was 5 when I got my first bow.

Yeah, Donnie. This has been quite the week.

I hear that DannyBows? We will definitely be enjoying the times God gives us together.

Thank you Shell. The Lord is deserving of all praise and glory!

Vermonster13, thanks. I have enjoyed your posts here.

Ceb, it's worth waiting for isn't it? Makes it that much sweeter when His blessings are received.

To be a part of the Lord's family and then have another little life come into the world, His creation, by way of your little girl...it is overwhelming.

Congrats Snag!   :clapper:    :clapper:    :clapper:  

You should have fun in the coming years!....having pateince with the little ones attention span was a big one for me...i wanted my daughter to love archery just like i did...and she has for years now...but she really didn't get into it until about she was about 4 years old....the trick was always keeping it fun....

 My grandson was about 10 before i got his first bow for him, and he didn't have the patience for it all for some reason.....he had more fun figuring out how to run a mini track hoe i had at the time.....they live in Idaho so i just didn't get enough time with him to get him into it. unfortunately i don't get to see much of him......He's 14 now and completely outgrown his first bow. i am hoping he'll get to spend some time with his grandpa this summer.....i would love to help him build his own bow in my shop....

I'm very happy for you bro! i hope the kids live close and you see lots of them....Kirk

Wow what a great bit of news. Tell you the 13th is every bit as awesome as the first and hearing that the grandkids have accepted Jesus' gift melts the heart. You've got a lot to look forward to.

Sounds like you've got the view correct with the Son in your eyes and getting the credit for the Glory and for your Guidance in your new role.

now enjoy the wait and practice all that spilin ya gonna do!  :)
