God’s Whoosh
WHOOSH! Did you hear it? That loud whooshing noise last Friday, June 5th?
At the exact moment of my new granddaughter’s birth, with her first intake of air, Kyla Eve stole my heart. Love for this new child swiftly gushed into my core and changed me forever.
Other grandparents warned me. “You will love being a grandparent.”
“There is nothing like it in the whole world.”
“You will be amazed. “
I pooh-pawed them, thinking I knew better. After all I am in control. I know what to expect. What a fool I am!
Whoosh! Love exploded triggering a chain reaction. Every instinct inside me wants to protect her, love her, and see her daily.
Whoosh! God longs to protect us, love us and be with us with His exploding love.
Whoosh! My arms ache to hold her, to touch her.
Whoosh! God’s arms surround us, even as we tug to pull away.
Whoosh! I want the best for her as she grows and anticipate joyous times together.
Whoosh! God yearns for our best and showers us with joyous, often unrecognized blessings.
Thank you, Lord for this new life. I think Kyla will teach me quite a bit about Your love.
praying!!!! lots of praying!!!
At hospital Emma can’t feel baby move. Oh–pls pray!
and I can’t wait to hear that you heard that whoosh! becoming a grandma or as I am called “Ammie” has been a highlight of my life. Can’t wait to hear!
Waiting for that whoosh!
Oh, Jeanie… she is too adorable. And all that hair! ;0)
CONGRATULATIONS!! She is going to be one very lucky little girl to have you for a grandma.
Love this post and how you remind us of God’s all-consuming love for us.
This is a keeper of a post just as Kyla is a keeper of a grandbaby! Give her a hug from me*
Oh my goodness, Jean, she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Get ready for many more WHOOSHES in your life, my friend! Whoosh! She’ll turn 1. Whoosh! She’ll start walking. Whoosh! She’ll call for her grandma!
How wonderful to compare your feelings for Kyla and God’s feelings for us! To often I forget that.
Congrats!!! Amma
I just have to say “I TOLD YOU SO.” Congratulations again on a beautiful little girl.
