I can’t think of a better way to begin my new blog than by dedicating it to my newborn granddaughter, Rielyn Jolene Bentz!
She arrived this Sunday morning of May 2, 2010 with all the usual weights and measurements (7 lbs. 6 oz. and 20¾” long, to be precise!), but the best thing is…
She’s perfect. A little person of uniqueness – crafted, shaped, and formed in the image of God and after His likeness.
It will be such joy to watch and help nurture her growth as a daughter of the Most High King.
For now, it’s Day One of life and she, mom, dad, and big brother Cohen David, are doing well.
May we all sleep tight tonight since the waiting is over and our new gift from Heaven has made her royal entrance!
Happy Birthday, sweet baby girl!
With a joyful heart full of love…Grandma Nanc
Rielyn in her Daddy’s arms (Cameron, my firstborn!)
Congratulations, Grandma! I think you need to go get a pair of diamond earrings, now! Have fun snuggling up when you see her!
Nancy,
When the Lord promises something new for YOU, He acts with artistry…a new grandbaby and a social medium for celebrating life in all its fullness (John 10:10) with others. I love the direction He is leading.
Blessings
Anita
Thank you for your blessing, Anita. I find myself responding with an excited ‘yes!’ as the urge to write again has revived. Who can account for the Lord’s timing? In the midst of all that’s going on, it’s like He’s re-handing me the gift yet again 🙂
Dear Gracefully Free,
(Nancy Charlene)
This is so exciting! Who can account for His timing? Bridegroom King bestowed this gift to you when He wove His DNA in you as He formed you and breathed His breath of life into you. He has only smiled as He has twirled you around so you could see this gift where you left it for the time being, swooping you around, folding you over His arm, so you could lean down and pick it up again. He speaks as you move as one and says, “I’ve kept it for you, Gracefully Free, for such a time as this.”
I think of the pictures when you had just started to walk, wearing Mother’s high heels, and I can see Him dancing with you even then!
I love you and am so proud to be your sister, Jan
