My Quiver is Full of Them

Wow.......what a night. When we arrived at Midway and walked in the door, Ken's phone rang. It was Whitney (our almost nineteen year old granddaughter). She was calling from the airport in Phoenix to say their flight had been delayed for a half hour. A half hour is no big deal in daylight but at 11 at night, a half hour is significant. It was around 7:30 and Jay and Austin were to land at 7:40. They were right on time. We scarfed up their luggage and beat it out of the freezing cold airport. We found a Friday's and took squatter's rights for a couple of hours. We had a great time looking over Jay's new iphone and checking out all his pictures. Technology is awesome. People who say one shouldn't be on the internet because there is so much pornography on it are people who should also have the philosophy that one shouldn't read books because some of them may have pornography in them. That is a ridiculous philosophy. I find the internet the most amazing source of GOOD information. I love it.

Sherri, Don, Whitney and Aidan arrived a bit after 11:30 p.m. For an early riser like me, that is the middle of the night. We arrived home at 1:30 a.m. Ughhhh. This morning, my body felt it had been run over by a truck. I got up around 7:45. It wasn't long before the rest of my world was waking. We had a great breakfast........each one getting their own desire. I had to laugh at myself. I'm such a wuss. I just pretend I run a restaurant and offer a number of options. It's okay, I enjoy making the rest of my family happy.

Now those staying in my house have joined those staying at Lauri's and it is a big happy boisterous family. Several are playing with their phones or computers and some are watching an old fashioned television. What a hoot. The cousins are counting the precious days they will be together. Schyuler, (John and Kim's son) told Austin he was staying until Saturday and Austin commented, "Cool, we have two whole days together yet". Isn't it a blast for parents and grandparents to watch their kids and grandkids enjoy one another. This is what Ken and I worked toward for forty years now. I haven't lived up to the standard in Proverbs 31 but the Lord has been gracious anyway just as he did with the Israelites. Thank you Lord. What does Proverbs 31 one say? A woman is spiritually successful when her children rise up and bless her. I feel truly blessed. I absolutely love my kids and theirs. I guess most parents do, but I feel it so keenly today. I plan to relish in the moments.
