I saw a light go on in Sarah’s eyes tonight. She was jealous because Philip is going to
buy a new cell phone tomorrow. He has
saved up the money for the phone, and the contract. He is very excited! She was very sour! But I told her it is her choice how she
spends her money. She has the money for
a new phone too (right now she has a basic pre-paid cell phone, not a smart
phone). She wants to go to China and she
is saving for the ticket. That did not
help her. Then I said she isn’t taking
dance or horseback riding, instead she plays soccer 3 times per week. She does not have the time to do it all, she
chooses soccer instead of dance. And
then somehow we started to talk about studying at the University. And that she could study sports medicine one
day, or learn to be a soccer coach. A
light went off, I saw it. She saw her
future, and it included 10 years of studying at the University. And then a new cell phone didn’t seem so
important.
My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!
