It is a time of transition for our family. Change is
inevitable and often can be emotional and uncertain. Gavin and Grayson are
moving on to daycare/preschool after being with us for the last four school
years. We already miss seeing them! Our daughter is teaching her last year in
the Bloomington schools as an Early Childhood Special Education teacher after
almost a decade and hopes to find a new position closer to where Gavin will
begin kindergarten next year.
Gavin continues to
do well and has been seizure-free for almost a year! Praise God! He will continue to be monitored
for medication needs, with EEG’s and learning assessments. Prayer is always
appreciated.
This morning we
begin a new chapter in child care as we watch our precious three-month-old
granddaughter, Brooklyn. What a gift to be a part of the lives of these
children. Our daughter is having a tough time thinking of going back to work
this morning and leaving her precious bundle. Our son-in-law began a new job
this year, too, after teaching at the same school for ten years. He has a whole
new role as athletic/activities director at a private school. So much change! Our grandchildren have the best parents.
At this age, we
have weathered many storms, forged new paths, let go of those who have moved
onto heaven and continue to trust God. With all of the uncertainty surrounding
us and the inevitable changes in life, we have an unchanging and loving God.
Our greatest desire is to watch our grandchildren grow in faith in Jesus, the
One who will guide us through all of life.
Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, and
forever. Hebrews 13:8
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and
courageous. Do not be afraid and do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will
be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares
the Lord. “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and
a future.” Jeremiah 29;11
Take these words
from God with you today, whether in a time of smooth sailing, transition,
change or grief. He will walk beside you and guide you through with peace and
joy from our Savior, our unchanging Jesus.
Lord,
We ask You to be with all of us as we move through life and
its challenges. Be with those in times of transition and ease their hearts as
You watch over them. Guide our precious grandkids into a life of faith and hope
in You.
Amen
