Life is SO Great!!!!!

This week our first daughter-in-law is On The Road.  She went down to San Diego to be with her son (our first grandson) and her daughter-in-law.  Tonight she was blessed with seeing her first grand child, a baby girl weighing in at eight pounds three ounces -- Miss Ava Grace Slemp.  Adam and Alexis, parents are doing well, and the grandparents are also doing well.  We know Rex is watching too.
The birth of a child is a wonderous and spiritual thing.  It is God's blessing on us that we are worthy of still trying to perfect human kind.  It is a miracle that such a little life began nine months ago, and within the womb has developed and grown to be the perfect image of it's parents.  The little tiny fingers have nails, along with little creases and wrinkles.  There are eyelashes on those beautiful eyes, and the little feet and toes are such precious representations of adults but in miniature.  Life is so precious and delicate, while at the same time such a demonstration of strength and endurance. 
We can only wonder and hope about who and what this beautiful little girl will be someday, but today, this evening, she is the greatest miracle known to mankind.  She knows no hate, no prejudice, no anger, only a need for love, human warmth and a mother's milk.  We thank God for her safe arrival, and for her mother's good health.  We ask your prayers over her as she grows, and ask for those same prayers for her mom and dad as they find their way as new parents.  The one thing we know she will have--a great deal of love. 
Oh, and thanks so much for allowing Deb and me to become Great Grandparents.  We are very proud!
