And so it begins...

On May 8, our granddaughter was born.  Caroline Rose entered the world and another living person began her journey through time and space on our planet.  This is the center of life's greatest drama...the individual human life.  As her family, we adore her.  Her parents are absolutely committed to meeting every need and responding to every sickness.  They will surround her with a home that embraces her absolutely and recognizes her as God's gift.  As grandparents, we see the story continue to the next generation and we are filled with joy.  But our love and attention is dwarfed by that of her heavenly Father.  He knew she would live from the beginning.
 
Psalm 139:15-17 
       My frame was not hidden from You,
         When I was made in secret,
         And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
    Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
         And in Your book they all were written,
         The days fashioned for me,
         When as yet there were none of them. 
      How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
         How great is the sum of them!
 
Every person is formed of dust.  The elements of the earth are brought together per God's design.  Wondrously, what began as dust is destined for eternity.
 
Psalm 103:14 For He knows our frame;
         He remembers that we are dust.
 
Hebrews 10:14 because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
 
It will be our joy to watch God's plan unfold in Caroline's life, as we have witnessed the miracle of His loving plans come alive
 
Psalm 33:11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.
 
blessings to the living (and those yet to be),
