I love when God shows me something new and in this case something new and beautiful. As I was at Angel's blog this morning, I noticed she had linked up with RENEE for this great meme, so I just popped on over to her blog to check it out and I just loved it! When I saw this button I immediately began singing the song "Something Beautiful, something good." God is so good and He is truly the most beautiful thing in our lives. He is responsible for every good thing that we are blessed with and I just thank Him for all that He does for me and my family.
Anyone who knows me know that some of my favorite things in the whole world are my grandkids. God has truly just poured out the blessings in that area and I have 6 of the most amazing grandyoungins that I could ever imagine having!
Last Saturday night, my grandson Bryton (3) spent the night with me and his papa. On Sunday morning, as we were getting ready for church, Bryton had his little bible story book in his hand and he said, "Nana, I need to go out on the patio and study before church". Oh, praise you Jesus! His papa is a preacher and His nana is a bible study fanatic, so it is no surprise that he already knows how important it is to study. That was something so beautiful to me at the time. Handing down that legacy of the love of God's word.
I can't think of anything more beneficial to hand down to our children and grandchildren than that. An intense hunger for God and His Word.
I am thankful that his mother is also teaching him about God and about Jesus and about the importance of reading the bible . It is beautiful to me that he already has the love of God instilled in his precious little heart. He even tells his little brother Sawyer about God.
Truly, this is something beautiful to me...
"Train up a child in the way he should go; and when
he is old, he will not depart from it."

My sweet sister, I loved this, my heart is so much like yours girl. There is nothing greater in life than sewing seeds of His love into our grandchildren and I'm desiring to do that for many, many years yet-so I'll keep trusting. My mind says if I don't do it who else will but the Lord knows my heart and mind in this. My friend I am so honored and blessed by you and the fellowship we share.
Hugs and lots of love,
Noreen
Hi Beth,
That is so cool! It looks like you have a little preacher in the making! :) What a blessing that he already has excellent habits instilled into him! And what a perfect Scripture, too.
Thank you so much for linking to Something Beautiful, and for your compliments on my blog. I really appreciate it.
Have a great day!

What a wonderful legacy! Your love for your grandchildren abounds! I love the picture!
It truly is my friend.... and having our grand-youngins' speak the Word of God from memory is about more than I can take!
Love you, Stephanie
Too touching for many words! Keep to the spiritual shaping and training of those grandkids. No finer gift can be given to a child than the witness of watching his/her family's faith lived out in living color!

Amen Beth! Training up children in the ways of the Lord and being a Godly example are the most important things Christian parents can do for their children.
