I’m still working on this, which is fine since I have no grandchildren yet. I had a revelation watching Little Women the other night, though — what about Marmee?

It just seemed a natural fit whne that first little grandbaby came along.

Thoughtful and interesting post, Jeanie. And I agree with Karen — God gave you Amma.

I love Amma, just as your grandchildren will. Yes, Jeanie, you are wise in many ways. In the desert of silence, Amma became you. I believe God gave you that word.

Thank you for following wherever the Lord leads you.
