Thoughts by Grandma....


I’d heard Paula and Elizabeth use the word “adoption” but always thought it a passing thought or idea. I like my quiet routine of retirement. My children’s (spouses-grandchildren) lives were complete and settled. Secure in their homes, their days and activities were happy, busy, and rewarding. Little did I think there would be more. “In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.” Prov. 16:9. This new step is “unknown” and now there is a new “focus”-Bringing Bella Home-(already she is edging her way into our hearts.)




Be safe, Baby Bella

Extra prayers come Each day

Loaded with Love

Letting God Lead the way

A lifetime Awaits

BELLA
Love, Grandma
