Susan, Congratulations on the birth of your first grandchild! I think babies are God's gift to us. They help us know about love because they require such tender care, like the love and care God gives us. I'm grateful to be reminded of my connection to God's love. What a treasure!
Blessings, Anna
Thanks for sharing! May God continue to bless you!
