I’ve tried to think of an excuse to show this picture of my newest grandbaby from her recent dedication. Then I realized that I’m a grandma – I don’t need any other excuse. So…here is my adorable little Xury wearing the dress that I wove for her big sister’s dedication 14 years ago.

What a privilege to be able to share in this moment, and to join the commitment of her parents to love (easy) and pray faithfully for this precious little girl. The pastor made it a very meaningful time as parents, grandma, sisters and brother, and church family were all challenged with our responsibility to this little one.

I love being a grandma. My husband and I share 19 grandchildren together – the best, of course! But I do take very seriously my role in their lives to live in a way that makes Christ real to them, and to pray faithfully for each one of them. Oh, and to do a little spoiling along the way.
