Sunday night I think I might have experienced 'Heaven' for a few moments.
Mr. Jenny and I have had our oldest three Grandlittles for a few days.
It was busy times for all us all...
Celebrating my Mom's 80th Birthday...
...with a Sweet Adeline singing quartet...
...doing homework...
...movie night...
...ballroom dancing lessons and basketball practice.
Roller skating with the neighbor girl.
A little while before we went to bed I painted cherries on their belly buttons...
...I sat in the cozy chair reading books to the six year old.
The oldest Grandlittle played my electric guitar softly...her red hair shone like a beacon in soft lamp light.
I could hear the murmur of the middle Grandlittle talking to her Grandpa.
The rumble of his voice and the sweet soprano of hers made a lovely background melody.
I could hardly contain all the comfort and joy I felt in my heart in those moments.
"Heaven," I thought. "Surely Heaven could not possibly be near as wonderful as this."
does sound pretty heavenly! what beautiful girls!
ReplyDeletehave a great week
xoxo

ReplyDeleteThat does sound absolutely divine. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is so wonderful to read - what blessings your Grandlittles are & you to them!
ReplyDeleteI can feel your heart in this...it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAwww, so sweet. And I can tell you that they think the same thing. That being with their Grandma and Grandpa is the most wonderful thing in the world.
ReplyDeleteI think you are so right Jenny! Heaven is being with those grandlittles for sure. hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteLoved this, Jenny. We'll catch up soon.
ReplyDeletexoxo
Perfect Jennie! We had the girlies this past weekend. Same things going on here. Sitting with the youngest while hearing Grandpa reading to the oldest in the other room, then there was an exchange without us even orchestrating it. Love the one on one time.
ReplyDeleteGrandchildren are the closest thing to heaven, we'll ever find on earth.
ReplyDeleteisn't it amazing how absolute perfection comes from the everyday moments ... it's just being aware to those beautiful perfect moments ...
ReplyDeleteThis sounds just wonderful.
ReplyDeletesuch sweetness - heaven on earth
ReplyDeleteYour words paint a lovely scene, Jenny. My granddaughter Katie is visiting for 3 weeks...it's heaven here too!
ReplyDeleteThat does sound like a relaxing time. What a cool grandma you are. There aren't too many grandmas painting cherries on belly buttons.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the best way to spend some time!
ReplyDeleteM :)
They say Heaven is where the heart is, and it is evident to see where your heart is. What a lovely weekend you had! It sounds simply .... heavenly!
ReplyDeleteoh it sounds simply wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIs there a LOVE button I can click??? I love this.
ReplyDeleteJenny, you know a good thing when you have it....and that is a blessing.
Seriously, I giggled out loud seeing the cherry-belly button. YOU are so special.
XOXO
I think heaven is the same as that...just the same.
ReplyDeleteFamily all around.
=)
I do believe we have a little bit of heaven on earth at times, and one of the places I most sincerely find it, is with my loved ones. It makes my heart break as I cannot nearly realize what those in places like Sandy Hook are experiencing. My babies make my day!! How are they getting through theirs??
ReplyDeleteHugs, Jenny, and blessings to you and yours.
Truly a heaven :)
ReplyDeleteaaahhhh...wonderful!
ReplyDeletethe best moments ever!
Heaven's got a lot of work to do, if it doesn't want to seem second-rate. Angels better get busy.
