Dear Greyson,

 

You have only been here for five weeks, but already I am learning from you.

 

I am learning to slow down, even in really busy seasons.

 

 

I am learning to trust my Father the way you trust yours.

 

 

I am learning that little people can make enough noise while sleeping to disrupt an entire row of churchgoers.

 

 

 

You have brought so many things to our lives already, but by far the most surprising one is: peace.  I suspect that God may have packed it in your suitcase before sending you our way, because I’m astounded at how much peace you’ve brought to this party.

 

 

 

You were born onto our family’s battlefield, and I know it sounds crazy, but your tiny self is adding strength to our fight.  My only explanation is that the God of Life has a lot of really happy tricks up His sleeve.

 

 

 

So thankful for you,

 

Grandma Bo

  1. Wow…that last photo of your grandbaby looks so much like Steve…… does anyone else see that???

  2. There is a difference between laughing at a funny joke and the laugh that expresses joy, sheer joy. I just laughed out loud here at home while reading this, with that definite burst of joy that sends something as powerful as strong medicine rushing around inside a body making everything feel better. Yep, Grey’s little suit case was packed with good things (every good and perfect gift…) including joy infused laughter 🙂
    Still celebrating God’s goodness to the Sterns!

  3. OK, that last photo nearly brought tears to my eyes! WRONG Bo blog. LOL!

    So love this little champion, thanks for allowing us to see him through Grandma’s eyes, a beautiful vantage point.

  4. Just reminds me yet again – how smart God is to know exactly what team Stern needs………..

    I love that baby in the froggy towel! Can’t wait to hug him. He reminds me of my little brother almost 50 years ago!!!

  8. He is most definitely super cute. And since I have four boys, I consider myself somewhat of an authority. 🙂

  9. Such a precious blessing from God!
