The girls and I recently had a week long visit from my Grandparents. They live in northern Michigan and head to Texas every winter. They decided to take a 'not-so-short' short cut to Savannah on their way back home to Michigan. This is the second year in a row that they made the trip and it was such a blessing to see them!
My sisters and I had the privilege of growing up close to our grandparents. Grandma Jones lived next door and we were always welcome to walk down to her house. She always had jelly beans or brownie mixes waiting for us! My other set of Grandparents....Papa and Grandma Ginnie lived just a few miles away and we spent a lot of time at their house too! They always made the holidays so special for us and I have so many great memories of all the hours spent in their house on Vesta Road.
One of the hardest parts about living so far away from family is that my girls don't get to know their extended family....this is why it means so much when we have visitors! The girls LOVED spending time with their Great Papa and Great Grandma and Kyleigh shed many tears when it was time for them to go!
They blessed me in so many ways over the week that they were here...they helped with yard work, home maintenance, babysitting, and provided lots of good company. Their generous help was yet another way that I felt God's love to me as I struggle to maintain my house and family while my husband is away.
