The Three Minute Grandparent

The Three Minute Grandparent: Rhonda The Creator said, “Let us make a woman, and let us make her as close to perfection as a human can be.”  The Creator found the softest clay of creamy coloring and began forming the woman.  One of the ministering spirits asked what height she should be, to which the Creator answered, “The height of a needy man on planet earth.”  “I want this woman to perfectly complement the man that I have in mind,” the Creator continued.  The beautiful woman began taking shape and the Creator found the warmest, most divinely scented smells of Heaven and breathed them into the woman.  He took the brightest star and instilled that into the personality; with the very love of God, He created her heart.  He gave her the patience of Job, the beauty of Rachel, and the Mother’s instinct of Hannah.  As Rhonda Colson was brought to earth, she began looking for Ken; upon finding Him, The Creator pronounced the union… Good.

The Three Minute Grandparent: New Grandson A child has been born named Asher.  He is the third of 3 grandchildren.  He is healthy and loved by our oldest Daughter, Son-in-law, and first Grandson.  Birthdays are important as we celebrate the life that began 9 months ago and continues in this world.  The name, Asher means Blessed or Happy One.  This child has amazing parents and a kind, loving brother; he is truly blessed to be in such a caring and loving family.  We welcome him into the world and into our family.  Our prayer is that he would experience the love of Jesus and come to the knowledge of Jesus as Savior at an early age.  Until we can visit in person with little Asher, Skype continues to function on a daily basis.  Granddaddy loves you, Asher.
