Meet Our Newest Grandchildren!

My husband and I had the unique privilege of meeting and holding two new grandsons born recently within two weeks of each other. Holding them felt like being given a second chance to hold our own two children when they were newborn. We wish that they lived close enough so that we could see them more often. We plan for our prayers to follow them throughout their lives.

I think the Lord's words in His John 17 prayer would express my desires for my relationship with our grandchildren: "I have glorified Thee on earth (vs 4)...For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them (vs8)...I pray for them (vs 9)...And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth." (v19)



Zachary Malachi Johnson came into this world on February 20th. His parents are our daughter Heather and her husband Dave. Little Zachary looks a lot like his two brothers Matthew and Daniel and they love him a lot. His name means something like "I am sent from God to remind you that He remembers you."




Titus Alexander Emslie was born on March 2nd. His parents, our son Tim and his wife Kim, chose a strong name for him because they want him to be very manly. He has been gaining weight and strength very rapidly. His two sisters think he is great.
