She Is Blessed

Well, we are snowed in here in West Michigan, so I thought it would be a good day to just relax and write my first entry to the blog I established last week.

I wanted to first of all let you know how we came up with the title for this blog. One reason we came up with “She Is Blessed” was that many of the other titles we thought of were already taken! After we came up with this title, we were actually quite pleased with it.

Proverbs 31: 28 says of a virtuous wife that “her children rise up and call her blessed”. Next to my desire to hear the words, “Well Done”, from my Savior, I long to hear the words of my children rising to call me “blessed” as a result of the life I have lived before them on this earth. I once heard it said that the only thing you can take with you to Heaven is people. And who would I desire to take with me more than my children, assuming that my husband is on his way! And who better to lead them there than a mother and father who are totally committed to the Lord, to each other and to the family that God has given to them? Therefore to be called “blessed” by my children and grandchildren would be the crowning touch to a life lived here and would make a reward of many of the difficult things we have endured in this world!

Just a little note of praise and a reminder that our job as moms and grandmas never ends, we were blessed with a new baby grandson this week given by our son and daughter-in-law in Ohio. His name is Iain Paul and we were able to meet him about 5 hours after he was born. We were to have been there for the birth, but he came almost three weeks early by C-section.
May the Lord bless the coming week and may you find the Lord to be your faithful guide throughout each day!
