The Gift

As I sit on the back porch I start to cry as I think back to last night as Jessica softly said" we are having a little boy".The gift of life is a priceless treasure.Damien and Jessica continue to amaze me with their courage to step out in faith and their abundant love for their little ones.They will move in a few months to their new home 40 minutes away.There there will be 4-wheelers,swimming,and woods to wonder in. A haven for growing memories.Of course as a grandparent you want to protect them all from danger but not keep them from living life to the fullest.As I sit here I am reminded of the seemingly never ending to do list that I wake up to.That really is the trick to life-be productive yet enjoy being with those you love.In a few weeks all the kids will gather in Lexington for a rare get together.Of course we will have an endless selection of names for the little fellow.Jessica got a dog a few months ago and by phone we all text suggestions.When Justin texted "Blokkey" I thought he was joking and of course that was the name they chose-maybe we should wait until he is at work before we suggest any names.Since they had 3 boys and 1 girl the natural choice would be another girl,however, we know that God always gives us what we need.February 28th will be here before you know it -better get started thinking about names.
