When our granddaughter, Claire Felicity White, was born, we stood around her little bed like this. The first night we crowded twenty-some people into the cubicle and willed our less-than-two-pound-baby to be strong. After her twin sister, Ellery Blythe, slipped through a portal to Glory, we stood around Claire and sang songs. We recited scripture and told her all the things she could be when she grew strong.
Last night we stood around Claire like this, after she strutted across the stage to receive her diploma at Kindergarten graduation. She sang songs, recited scripture, and made us cry when she read her essay about the doctor she wants to be when she grows up.
Standing Ovation, Please
And this post made me cry again! What a night! What a wonderful granddaughter and what an awesome God we serve!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad we share a granddaughter and our God.
ReplyDeleteI linked my blog post to your blog. I posted the video of her singing "I Am A Promise". She is so precious!
ReplyDeleteAnd I couldn't agree with you more! I consider it an honor to share BOTH with you!
So standing here. Beautiful post!
