I packed my "gamma" traveling bags last night. It really messes with my mind that I will holding my offspring's offspring in my arms soon. For those of you, who are just beginning the adult thing, may I tell you from a couple of years (decades!) out that you never view yourself any different than that twentysomething that had great hopes of tackling the world and being a superhero in your own right!
That twentysomething still in her mind almost grandmother, looks at her second baby having a baby and the world goes upside down. How can this be???? It was only yesterday that she nudged me twice and out she popped! And days later that she sat joyfully in front of her dolls and taught them all they needed to know about whatever she thought they needed to know. And then days after that she began her life as a ballerina, first on the stage as a cute little blue flower and hours later on pointe with fellow dancers groomed from the Bolshoi! And then she danced one last time for the man who stole her heart and made her his bride. And now...she's having my granddaughter...who will probably be dancing "Swan Lake" next week at the Lincoln Center!!
Where do the moments go? They are beautiful threads of a glorious tapestry, woven by the Master Designer, Who's love stretches from generation to generation, ever faithful, full of mercy, drawing us ever closer to Himself, where we will forever enjoy the treasures of family. Thank you, Abba...
