I Promise You

Yesterday I told you there were things I want to tell my granddaughter, there are also things I want to promise her.

I promise you that….

1. You have my unconditional love, always and forever.

2. I can’t change the world for you but I can change myself. I will work hard to be the best person I can be. I will pray more, love more and volunteer more….because of you.

3. I will tell you about the wonderful people who love you from heaven. I want you to share my happy memories of my parents and grandparents and their loving hearts.

4. I will read to you every day or every time we are together. I want you to know the joy of books!

5. I will sing to you (sorry, Kennedy, my voice isn’t the best) because I want to pass on the songs that my parents sang to me, even “Go Tell Aunt Rhody,” which is really not a “happy” song, but essential as far as I am concerned.

6. We will have glorious adventures! Camp-outs in the den. Pedicures and manicures. Jeep rides on the farm.

7. We will praise God together for His goodness and glory; at church, at home, in Bible School, where ever we go!

8. I will always be with you even after I am gone. How do I know this? Because my parents and grandparents are always with me, whispering words of love, comfort and encouragement.

Nana loves you, baby girl!
