| “ Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, if He should appear, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is. And every one who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.” I Jn. 3: 2-3
I’ve been studying “hope” lately in the Bible. Isn’t it interesting that Paul says that “Christ in you is your only hope of glory.” What Christ is doing in and through us is really the only thing that matters—the only thing that will last. This journey with my dd hasn’t been easy, but it has turned out completely different than I ever imagined. My hope isn’t in her, but in what God is doing in her and her husband.
We spent the weekend with our two married dd’s. Number 2 daughter is doing so well. Nathaniel is so sweet and well-behaved. I got to babysit him all day. We also got to do some real “grandparent things” like going to the park. We swung Nathaniel in the swings, and slid down the slide together. We watched the ducks on the lake, and then put him in the stroller and walked around the lake.
“I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.” III John 4
