Fingerpint of God

I tell you what, raising kids is the hardest thing to do. My oldest daughter graduated from high school in 2007, and she didn't stay at home very long. She had the world by the horns, she could do anything now, she is an ADULT now.

Well it wasn't to long and she was back at home, no job, no money, and PREGNANT!!!

I tell you I was mad, very mad, but over time I excepted it and continue to love her.

Well on May 26th, I saw the fingerprint of God, my Grand daughter was born, her name is Hailie Grace.

Now think about it Grace what a interesting word/name, here is what Webster says Grace is:

–noun
1. elegance or beauty of form, manner, motion, or action.
2. a pleasing or attractive quality or endowment.
3. favor or good will.
4. a manifestation of favor, esp. by a superior: It was only through the dean's
grace that I wasn't expelled from school.
5. mercy; clemency; pardon: an act of grace.
6. favor shown in granting a delay or temporary immunity.
7. an allowance of time after a debt or bill has become payable granted to the debtor
before suit can be brought against him or her or a penalty applied: The life insurance
premium is due today, but we have 31 days' grace before the policy lapses.
Compare grace period.

It was interesting that they even have a Theology definition:

8. Theology.
a. the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God.
b. the influence or spirit of God operating in humans to regenerate or strengthen them.
c. a virtue or excellence of divine origin: the Christian graces.
d. Also called state of grace. the condition of being in God's favor or one of the elect.

Now here is my "prodigal daughter", and she has a baby and Hailie's middle name Grace, "the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God."

Here is a girl that went and sinned and came home with a precious gift from God. I love my daughter very much and am so proud that she gave me such a beautiful grand daughter. You can see pictures below. Keep checking back, I will post more, because my wife and I get to baby sit tonight and I sure we be taking pictures tonight.



Fingerprint Friday
There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know its true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of God
