STEADFAST: IS A First-time Grandfather of a BOY!!!!!!!!!!

[Steadfast]

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm in the waiting room typing this as I wait on my daughter in law to have my FIRST grandchild. Went in this AM for a routine checkup (about a week overdue) and they sent her straight to the hospital.

Went in a few minutes ago for a c-section. They requested to NOT know what it was until it was born... (I'm thinking a boy).

I feel the 'grandbuddy' spirit coming on me.

I feel the spirit of "Aunt Weldy" coming on!!!

(That is what my niece called me when she was real little. She got mad at me for correcting her, and Uncle John said "what's they matter with Uncle John's girl, who did sompan to it?" She turned her little head and looked right at me and said, "Welda did!!!!!" Needless to say I got taken to task about it, but I got over it."

My Father-In-Law just passed away about 5 months ago. His name was Marion Huston Harris. He had 5 daughters, a female dog with six female pups. There are 12 grand daughters and my two sons are the ONLY boys.

My Mother-In-Law has been weeping since the baby was born. It's name? Bentley Marion Andrew...

[Ferd]

good looking fellow. congrats.

[Steadfast]

I Love the NAME!!!!

They have been settled on the 'Bentley Andrew' for a long time... the 'Marion' was to honor his grandfather... an Apostolic Pastor of some 40 years.

I kind of like the name, too. Of course, at this point it could be named Barodachbaladan Shalmanezar and I wouldn't mind.


:telephone

[Ferd]

Steadfast, let me tell you a great paw paw story.

When our little boy was born, this was my FILs first Grandchild.

He completly forgot every word in the english language except the word "Paw Paw" which he walked around sayin incessantly.

when he sees the boy, 2 years later, he yells "PawPaw" at him.

Now when little Levi prays the only word one can understand of his toddler talk is "pawpaw" and "Amen".

[ForeverBlessed]

awesome.. congrats!!!

[Tina]

LOL Be thankful they didn't name him that.... can you imagine him trying to spell that name in Kindergarten?

[HeavenlyOne]

What a handsome boy! He's quite alert looking for a newborn!

[Falla39]

Congratulations, Bro. & Sis. Steadfast,

The feeling of seeing and holding that first grandchild. Ours

was a boy also. 23 yrs. ago. Just extensions of ourselves and

our children. God's Heritage and His Reward!!

Blessings,

LOL Be thankful they didn't name him that.... can you imagine him trying to spell that name in Kindergarten?

I did a baby dedication for a little girl some time back for whom I had to alter the entire baby dedication certificate. The name?

Dashay Dreonia Dujuajinay Yvette Fontenot

She's be in college before she spells that one.

They call her 'Shay'.

[ILG]

I am so happy for you!!!! Me and Heather are about to have ours real soon. Congrats Grandpa!

Congratulations, Steadfast! Your life is now enriched in a way you cannot have imagined in your most wonderful of dreams! My grand daughter is my heart!

You are indeed a blessed man of God!

[Scott Hutchinson]

WOW I'm happy for you grandparents.
But I'm dealing with girls 11 and 14 yall pray for me.

[MrsBOOMM]

Congratulations! There is nothing more precious than a new baby! Enjoy!

[Pressing-On]

Congratulations, Steadfast!!!!!!

Blessings and Honor on Steadfast-- and baby Steadfast!!!

[LaGirl]

Congratulations!!!!

The precious grandbuddy is that pic!

He looks like his mom!!!!! (Sorry, Steadfast :) )

[Steadfast]

He looks like his mom!!!!! (Sorry, Steadfast :) )

Yep... but God can forgive him if he learns how to pray! :yahoo

I'm just getting back home at 1:50 AM. Amazingly, I only held him twice - the first time for about 2 minutes and the second time for about 2 minutes. NOT that he lacked for someone holding him, however, with...

1 great grandmother
2 sets of grandparents
2 great aunts
3 aunts
1 uncle
1 second cousin
1 youth leader and wife

... and about 15 other Saints from the Church in the room at one time.

Yes, I left and went to the waiting room down the hall to read the news. Frankly, there were some parts of Hell that weren't as hot as that room was and the line for a cancer cure wouldn't have been as long as the one waiting to hold the baby.

Finally they all left (except my wife and I and my Mother-In-Law) and I spent a while looking... and crying... and praying... and looking... and crying... and praying... and... well, I think you get the picture.

Surely God is better to me - Grandbuddy or not - than I could ever deserve.













I am a blessed man.:praying

[Thad]

you look too young to be a grandpa !

Grandpa Steadfast! that shoud become your new user name-congratuations!

[Sarah]

Congratulations to the ' Bro Steadfast' family!

Actually, he doesn't have an 'alien' look to me. Already looks several days old! So sweet....

[Gary Blacksher]

doesn't that mean you are old now? CONGRATS!!!

NOW!

He's been OLD!:grumpy J/K


Congrats!

[Steadfast]

Well, yesterday I had some 'Pastoral' situations that kind of took the joy out of having a baby. (ONLY a Pastor would understand that) However, this morning I awakened at the rising of the sun, tapped my wife on the shoulder waking her up, and said, "I have a grandbuddy!".

I was up and gone in short order. TODAY I feel like a Grandbuddy... and THIS is what I rushed to get my hands on.

Sorry... I just couldn't help myself!

Still am thrilled about your new addition.
These are one of the few instances in our Christian walk where one has leeway to be proud.
:thumbsup

BTW not to change the subject but how did it go with preaching for those other denominal Churches if I may ask?

[rgcraig]

Oh, that picture is even more precious than yesterday's~

He almost looks like he's smiling!

[Forgiven]

My grandmother always said when a baby smiles like that while they are asleep, the angels are talking to them.

That is a precious picture. Congratulations, Steadfast!

Congratulations, Steadfast.
