Grandaddy w/grandchild #9
When our 9th grandson was born, my husband and I were blessed to be able to travel to where he was born. Then after about 2 weeks, my husband left for home and I remained in order to work with the staff children during a training session in the bush.
Sweet Togetherness!
On July 5th I wrapped up my ‘back to the bush’ posts about that great adventure entitled, ‘My final adventure-flying home!’
The land of my dreams.
And just in time too. For in August, my husband and I will be meeting our son and his family in Scotland.
Why Scotland you may ask?
Well, it just so happens that next year our son will be studying at the University of Edinburg working on his master’s in linguistics. Therefore, they will be taking care of the details involved in finding a place to live, etc. They will take some of their vacation time to accomplish this.
Now here’s where we get involved!
Our grandson (grandchild number 10) was born back in March. We were not able to travel to visit with him after he was born like we were able to do for his big brother. Therefore, we planned this trip to meet them in Scotland. Not only will we have the delight of seeing our new grandson for the very first time, but we will also get to see his 2 1/2 year old big brother, our son, and our daughter in law. I have dreamed of traveling to Scotland for years and now thanks to my son’s need to study at the University of Edinburgh, my dream is coming true.
Now, there’s a verse in Luke 6:38 that pretty much describes how I feel about embarking upon this new adventure:
“Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure–pressed down, shaken together, and running over.
