Almost seven years ago we had the most precious three year old twins join our family when our son met their beautiful mom. I became an instant grandma as we didn't as yet have any other grandchildren (we now have five). It was an incredibly stretching experience but one I would never change. God has grown me so much through the experience and we have been so blessed by them and their mom. So glad she chose life and that they God chose us as their family.Gloria Lynn Guesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144091313075005581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-72180730098819963922022-06-06T18:22:25.776-07:002022-06-06T18:22:25.776-07:00Thank you, Alan.

I cling to strong views on murderous acts such as abortion and euthanasia, inflicted on our country under the guise of "rights" and "my choice." As I read this post I also see why it is a personal matter for you. Blessings on your son and grandson as they live and enjoy life together. Blessings to you as well, as a shining light amidst increasing darkness.

Many hard choices come with lasting and unforeseen consequences but it is worth it in the end, as you have so eloquently shown. ‘How blessed you are to have the Lord to walk through it with you,’ comes to mind.

Jentien turned out to be a wonderful person and a sister in Christ. And as for hot button topics, listen to the song "Belly Button Window" by Jimi Hendrix.
