Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again: Rejoice! ~Philippians 4:4
Yes, I know I'm posting a day earlier than usual, but that's because of the circumstances that bring my husband, Danny, and I unprecedented joy. The kids are on their way today, Thursday, to spend spring break with us!!!
Soon, those little rascals pictured above will be giving and getting innumerable hugs from their Gammie and Papa, and we can't wait to see daughter, Sarah, and son-in-law, John. We haven't seen any of them for over a year, and this celebration will be sweeter than sweet. Tastier than these chocolate bunnies I buy for the grands.
Here, too, are the T-shirts we've purchased as gifts for Virginia, Savannah and Alexandra. You can tell by looking at them the different style of which each girl boasts.
Any guesses as to which shirt goes to which girl? Feel free to express your decision in the comment section. I will definitely take photos of each girl in her T-shirt, so the answer will be revealed.
The long and short of this is: I won't be posting again until a week from this coming Friday, and I may not keep up with your beautiful posts during this time. Just know that I will have so much to share with you once I'm back, and will try to catch up with you the best I can.
May all of you have a blessed Easter, rejoicing in the risen Lord!
Amen!
Rejoice Rejoice and Enjoy. May you have great fun and happiness with your family. You all deserve it.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best you could ever wish for you and yours.
God bless always.
Thanks so much for your wonderful wishes for our happiness, Victor. We will be rejoicing!

This has got to be one of THE.GREATEST.EASTER.PRESENTS. you and Danny receive, especially after his escapade and your inability to drive the interstate. God honors His children in ways we just simply cannot know. I love it!
ReplyDeleteGod does honor us in ways that we least expect, Bill, and I'm so grateful that He has made this all work out in the end. I'm so happy, I'm beside myself, as you can well imagine!
DeleteLove and blessings!
Dearest Martha Jane,
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you and Danny that the younger generation stepped up in doing the traveling! ENJOY a very happy Easter.
In the 37 years that we live here, we only have seen our family 66 times and at times that is tough and even comes with a hefty price tag... But in our hearts, just as we keep our Faith, feelings are strong.
Hugs,
Mariette
Making that move to the U.S., and living so far away from family couldn't have been easy for you, Mariette, but I'm glad you HAVE been able to see them from time to time. Danny and I are simply overwhelmed with joy that the kids will arrive sometime today.
DeleteLove and blessings!

DeleteThank you!
DeleteIt's a joy! We have Easter celebration with the family - and the grandsons - on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that your whole family will be getting together on Easter Sunday, Glynn! Yes, this will be one of the happiest Easters I've ever experienced.
DeleteLove and blessings!
I am so happy to hear it all worked out and you will be seeing them after all. Have a fantastic time with them and have a Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it all worked out, too, Martha. Yes, we will definitely have a Happy Easter, and I sincerely hope that you do, too!
DeleteLove and blessings!

ReplyDeleteI will, Marja!
DeleteLove and blessings!
SO HAPPY FOR YOU! Don't always comment, but have been reading your posts as they come via email. I have been praying for you and Danny. Thankful all turned out okay!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, My Friend and enjoy every second with your grands!
Thanks so much for all your prayers, Loralu - they have meant so much! And rest assured, I will enjoy every second with the grands.
DeleteLove and blessings!
I'm SO excited for all of you, Martha! Those shirts are great. I'm guessing "Wonder Woman" is Alexandra, Camelot fantasy is Virginia's and the kitten goes to Savannah. Can't wait to see your photos!
ReplyDeleteGood try, Myra! You guessed correctly with Alexandra, so now just switch the other two. Savannah is crazy about unicorns and Virginia loves both cats and learning about space. We are looking forward to a marvelous time together!
DeleteLove and blessings!
I just couldn't be happier for you!! I know how much you have missed those sweet girls (and their folks) since they moved so far away and then covid hit. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!! xo
ReplyDeleteI certainly will enjoy being with them, Terri!
DeleteLove and blessings!
I am so happy for you, Martha! I know how you missed your granddaughters. I hope you and your family has a blessed Easter. Enjoy those girls. And the chocolate bunnies!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Laurie! Yes, we are so looking forward to this visit with them at long last. I'm praying that your family has a blessed Easter, too.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Oh, how I love answered prayers! :-D Reading the past couple of posts; in addition to praying for you and Mr. Danny, I couldn't help but ask God to help find a way to unite you two with your family. After the pandemic, the vaccines, etc., and then Mr. Danny's health scare and "wing-clipping", I prayed for God's intervention. I love it when He shows off. Not only to you get to visit with the grands, you get to see your daughter, son-in-love, and they're staying for a few days. Great job and prayers for lots of laughter, hugs, and love.
ReplyDeleteI can't thank you enough, J. D., for your prayers concerning all our needs. Yes, God has answered in larger than life way, and for that, I'm so infinitely grateful. We are looking forward to many joyous days ahead.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Yay! Oh, Martha, I'm so excited the kids are there to visit for spring break and Easter! I'm rejoicing with you, friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Karen! Yes, there is so very much to be joyful for, and this will be an extra special Easter for all of us as we celebrate our risen Lord together.

PS 'scuse typos. Comments on mobile phone, tiny screen, fat fingers with tired brain! 😁😄😆🤣
DeleteOur God is absolutely awesome, Shaz! The kids are here now, and we are having the time of our lives. That's why it's taken so long to get back to your comment here. We are joyfully busy.

We too have three granddaughters, but we won't all be together until late summer. But just the anticipation makes me smile! May the joy of your together time fill you to overflowing, Martha!
ReplyDeleteThe anticipation of reunion is so sweet, Nancy, and the realization of that is beyond joy! We are truly reveling in their presence right this very moment. What a wonderful Easter time this will be!
DeleteLove and blessings!
Hooray!!! Hoorah!! So happy for you!!! So happy for your kiddos!! What a blessed Easter you will all be having together! Praise God for answered prayer. I am assuming the red one at the top is for Virginia, the unicorn one is for the youngest and the cat one is for the one in the middle, I'm not sure which is which! Anyway, they are going to be so thrilled just to be with you again. What a blessing!!
ReplyDeleteGood try on the T-shirts, Pamela, but not quite! Yes, we are having such a wonderful reunion with Sarah, John and the girls, we are over the moon with gratitude and joy. God is so good!
DeleteLove and blessings!
I know you must be the happiest Grammie in the world. This Meme/Pinky is overjoyed for you. AT LAST, !!! My guesses. Are: #1 Virginia Rose, #2 Savannah and #3 Alexandra. Have a most joyous week with your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nells, I certainly am! You are correct about T-shirt #2, by the way. Hope you have a wonderful Easter, my friend!
