| Airplane Selfie On Our Way to Denver |
We were beyond excited to meet our grandtwins who were born June 6, 2014. What a journey it has been.
It really shouldn't have been surprising because after giving birth three times, I already knew how once you've made eye contact with your sweet baby, you are a goner for life.
Grandchildren are no different.
The moment I laid eyes on my sweet Baylee and Brody, life was never the same. There were two more to think about, pray for and love on. What a blessing!
I think God uses parenthood - and grand-parenthood - to teach us many many lessons. Learning life is not all about you, patience and sacrifice are just some of the bigger things we master on this parenting journey. But I think the biggest thing we learn is about love. The love that swells up inside us when we meet our flesh and blood is only a fraction of the love God has for His creation.
For your steadfast love is great above the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.... Psalm 108:4 ESV
Even more than Baylee and Brody can count on my always loving them, every believer can count on the love God has for them - unwavering, immeasurable and infinite.

Do you have a throwback Thursday pic to share? Link up at Kat Bouska's blog, Mama's Losin' It, and tell us all about it!
This gave me chills! :) Good ones! Thank you for reminding us of His love for us!
