Ans, I didn't realize your son had passed away. I'm so sorry for your grief, and I thank you for sharing this powerful story of how joy came through that whisper announcing your granddaughter's arrival into your life. Something so full of love and hope in such an unusual way just doesn't happen to everyone and I'm so grateful to you for sharing.

I'm curious ... you mentioned in the other thread that she was going into the armed forces ... will she still be pursuing her pediactric goals?

While I may not fully understand why things happen they way they do, I believe they happen for a reason and I find comfort in that.

My grand-daughter has chosen the most difficult branch of the armed forces to enlist in...the US Coast Guard, and proud that she's ready to face up to the challenge. She managed to get a good score on the exams that enables her to go straight for HS school right after boot camp graduation. If she stays focused and works hard, this move will eventually land her the most coveted medical program. I was so moved by her reasoning that I got teary eyed: to reach her ultimate goal without the financial burden being placed on us. We will see what tomorrow brings...perhaps this is where she is meant to be.

I don't believe that a lot of folks that are parents, or authority figures over kids stop to think/ponder and let the truth dawn on them, of what their IMPATIENCE does to young souls! I am not judging them, but am willing to speak bluntly about this.

I don't believe they have perfect self-control and that they are, in fact on "auto-pilot." (I sure know that I've been on it for portions of my own, faulty life in the past.)

I don't believe that they would be able to continue blowing-up, very angrily and impatiently, nor would they even, though not too loud talk so very grouchily in their impatience if just ONE time, they could feel exactly what their young ones were feeling, in that moment.

No wonder we are told that "in patience, possess ye your soul."

This is absolutely true, and guess what? I do believe that it is truly said that, "in patience, we help others to possess their own souls, also."

Love, Sunny~

What God thinks is love is not the same as man.

"Love is what I want not sacrifice,knowledge of God not holocaust."

Psalm 85:10
Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other.

Psalm 89:1
I will sing of your steadfast love, O Lord, forever; with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations.

Psalm 103:17
But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children,

Book of JN "The man who loves me will keep my words".

So you knew they wanted to be surprised ....but you went and blew it for them by telling them what it was???? Bravo!!

You could very well be right.
