Best Gift of 2016

Image
As 2016 begins to fade into a memory,  I wanted to give thanks to our Lord for the best gift my family received this year. This little guy came into our lives on October 2nd, and we are blessed.  ~ On the fourth week of Advent we were accompanied while practicing Christmas songs at church. He looks quite content in his gramma's arms.

Sunday Afternoon (Waiting)

Image
We spend the day waiting, anxious thoughts, imagery in our hearts, a joy we wait without patience to embrace. Healthy lungs, ten fingers and ten toes, God knows the petitions in our hearts. It is not as when we were mother and father, expectant adults, growing into our roles. Now there is another generation to bear that joy. But we are the elders who sit back and wait, pray, while our daughter breathes through contractions and her husband holds her hand. copyright 2016 - Donald P James Jr
