We are expecting our 20th grandchild in March. A boy. That will make us
15 grandsons. The oldest grandson, 24 1/2 yrs, is licensed with the UPC,
will be married 4 yrs. Jan 17th. The next oldest grandson will be 22 yrs. on
April 5th. He is fixing to get his license also. We also have 5 granddaughters,
ages 11, 10, 6, 3 and 2. All of our children are active in church.
Our middle daughter and her husband pastor the church my father and
mother founded in 1958, along with their 11 children. That will be 50 yrs. ago
Nov. 2008. Five of our six adult children and their spouses and children
still attend this church where they were raised. One son lives in another
city, approx. 15 miles from us and attends an Apostolic church there. God
has been SO good to our family. Our roots go very deep!
Today we attended our annual Family Christmas Party with ten of my siblings
and their families present as well as extended family. (We lost our first sibling,
a younger brother, age 55, in Sept. 07). He was sorely missed today but his
widow and daughter and 2 granddaughters were present. We had a great time
of delicious food, fellowship, sang carols, recalling family memories of years
gone by, etc. There was approximately 100 present, more or less!
Blessings,
