Last weekend was an exciting time for our family. Our middle son got engaged! Cory was totally surprised and delighted to say YES! (She and Bill are on the far left in this picture) So, come December, our family will be growing with a new daughter-in-law. We are looking forward to it!
We also got to see our grandson, Tyler, who is also growing. Today he is four months old! He smiles much more readily, and made some cooing noises at me when we said goodbye. It is such a blessing to be closer and able to see them more often. Hopefully it won't be too long before Tyler knows who Grandma and Grandpa are!
But the best growth in our family is spiritual. It is awesome and humbling to watch God work in the lives of our family members. We are encouraged by conversations with our children, and challenged by reading their blogs. (Check out the links to the right.) We share the joy in 3 John 4 as we see our children walking in the truth. And God continues to teach and challenge and humble grandma and grandpa as well. His Word is such a rich treasure, yet we can never plumb its depths. I have grown to know God better, and love Him more, yet I know I am just seeing the fringes of His ways (Job 26:14). And I am confident that God will continue to grow all of us in Him. (Phil 1:6, 2 Thess. 3:4) What a great and awesome God we serve!
