Susannah!!!!

Susannah is one year old today! Knowing her has been a tremendous surprise because I did not anticipate the incredible, unconditional love I feel for this little girl. I don't know if there is a purer or less complicated love on earth than what a grandparent feels for her grandchild. So much love, so little responsibility! Our only job is to adore her, pray for her and celebrate her.

Here is something I read in "The Divine Hours: Prayers for Summertime" by Phyllis Tickle this morning:

"That which we have heard and know,

and what our forefathers have told us,

we will not hide from their children.

We will recount to generations to come

the praiseworthy deeds and power of the LORD,

and the wonderful works he has done.

That the generations to come might know,

and the children yet unborn,

that they in their turn might tell it to their children;

so that they might put their trust in God,

and not forget the deeds of God,

but keep his commandments."

Excerpts from Psalm 78:3-8, Jerusalem Bible
