I am not sure my mother-in-law counts as a visitor, she is truly extra special family! Much like your "good china" she is the best of the best:) Nancy came on Tuesday and has been here all week with us. She will be headed back to Murfreesboro tomorrow.
One of the most wonderful blessings God bestowed to me was and is an incredible woman I love, admire and cherish. It's a blessing because truthfully as a young person, well, young people are clueless....they(me, myself and I) know not what they want and especially what they need. So a gift like Nancy can only be from God. I'm sure as a young wife, at that youthful time I never considered the time, the love, the influence, the support, the laughter, the sorrow, the true friendship that was in store for my life. He chose the best (I know it and God does too!). I sometimes wonder in my youthful bliss if God did not just peep into my future and think to Himself....Amanda is REEAALLLY gonna need Nancy....and He blessed my unknowing soul with her:) Nancy is my most favorite example of "Christ-like". Just today, as she washed, capped and put up strawberries for me, she mussed, "how can people say "___" is my favorite grandchild?" Then she talked so lovingly about how God created each grandchild and how special they all are. See?! A blessing! And I am and will eternally be grateful to call her mine. Even if I have to share! lol..and I will:)
