Yesterday, my son surprised me with a video chat. It was so wonderful to hear and see him, his wife, and my grandchildren. My almost 1 year old granddaughter caught on after a bit and started waving and saying, “HI!” My parents and I were able to tell my grandson happy birthday as his birthday is today. I have seen many pictures and videos of him with his little sister. Of course, it was even more enjoyable to see it in real time. He just loves her. He seems to be at her beckoned call as he got what she wanted and tried to help her do her “baby tricks”. It was adorable. My joy of seeing them overflowed into today. Even though I am not there physically, the thought of the family celebrating a birthday together made me happy instead of sad. I am so grateful for that.

I Found God today in my grandson and in joy thinking about the family celebration instead of sadness.
