Milestones are points of change in our lives. If we are of any "age", beyond say 20-30, we become more aware of milestones. As we watch our grand daughters grow and change and have their milestones, it is an affirmation to me of God's presence in us. We are after all created in His image. I am not sure what all that means beyond that we have a body, a soul and spirit, but I KNOW HE IS THERE WITHIN ME.
In preparation for future overnight visits and possible cruises, we had Matti and Emma overnight and for the day too on Valentines. It allowed Bill and Jodi a Valentine date without their usual responsibilities.
The girls did wonderfully well and we did not have any spats or arguments. They seem to settle into a quieter routine. They know Papi sleeps late so were willing to do quieter activities. We played games and make believe (I had not heard of the game "Rescue the pigs in the mud"), and read books and watched a DVD or two. They ate well at meals and were very cooperative and as mommy and daddy say "being good listeners " and good doers too! : ) As they were settling down for sleep, Emma said her tummy hurt. So I had her lie on her tummy and I rubbed her back. Matti decided she needed her back rubbed too. We had already had our Bible story about creation and how God made everything in a week and then He rested. We said our prayers and prayed for their mommy and daddy. They know that Jesus "lives in their heart" and it is so precious as the first step in their journey to find the real Christ and accept His gift of eternal life.
Now THAT'S a milestone!
