Slumber Party

Papa and I decided we wanted to have a slumber party with the grandkids before
school started. Well, we finally got it done a few days before school started.
The kids are so much fun. They are growing up so fast. It seems like just yesterday the oldest was born and she will be 7 in September! Hard to believe!
We made tie dyed T shirts. How fun and messy was that? They all picked out their own colors and papa and I helped them put it on. The hardest part was waiting 6 hours to look at them.
They even slept the night! Papa slept with them, I headed to the soft bed around midnight.
I realized that night how much we can teach these little ones. They are like sponges. They soak up so many of the things we do and say. Kind of a scary thing. What a lot of responsibility we have with our children and grandchildren.
Yes, this is why I keep fighting the fight of this disease that has claimed so much of my life. Those little stinkers deserve to know their grandma. I would love to be a more
"fun" and energetic grandma, but they don't care, I am grandma. They love me just as I am. Kids can teach a thing or two. They are so accepting of people. They don't judge. They accept you for who you are and love you for that. Thank you Jesus for these precious children!
I have been notified the test we have been patiently waiting for has been suspended indefinitely. So, I know everything is in God's hands and happens for a reason, but I am feeling very frustrated by it all. Patience is a hard thing to learn! For now I will go on in the treatment I am in to keep things at bay. Yep, that is why I fight, because I have to. I have a family that loves me even through my weakness. They love me for me.
I have been doing a lot of pleading with God, if you heal me I will..... but, maybe that isn't in God's plan. I am sure He has it covered. So glad He is in charge and I am not.
