the sun and Son shine

As I am sitting at my kitchen table listening to my grandson cough and cough I see a bright sunny day out my window and a poor, yet fat, robin flying about over the snow. I can't help but to think God is great, he will take care of that robin and me too! The sun will melt some of the snow and spring will come. Yesterday we attended a birthday party for our 7 year old nephew at the bowling alley. Two of my grandsons were there also. J, (almost 6) when he first heard of the bowling party said he wasn't going to bowl. He is the most stubborn kid I have ever known, having received those genes from BOTH parents. He bowled and had fun! Then we went to the birthday boys house to have pizza. All 3 of the boys got along so good (when they were younger J & N would fight). I came home earlier and J decided to stay later with grandpa (there was a time when grandpa was 'chopped liver'). At bedtime J declared that he'd sleep in our spare bedroom. He always wants to sleep in my king size bed (ANGERING MOM EXTREMELY). It didn't bother me, it's a big bed and I knew he'd sleep in the other bed when he was ready, he's a 'jewel' you know! This morning when he got up he woke me up and said he was going downstairs by grandpa....usually I have to walk him down. He is growing up....and God answers prayer. Life is good!
