Because of COVID, they had not seen their grandchildren in some weeks. Finally, they were able to visit their daughter and family. After a wonderful time with them, as they were preparing to say their good-byes, something amazing happened. But &#8211; I think I will just the granddad tell you in his own words! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDue to Covid circumstances, I hadn\u2019t seen the grandkids for about five weeks, and last Saturday evening decided to pay them a visit. Their youngest child has cerebral palsy, is blind, doesn\u2019t speak, and is unable to walk. At 14-years-old, our grandson whom we greatly love, needs full-time care and support. He had suffered the last few weeks with seizures and at times, his parents weren\u2019t sure if he would pull through. But being the fighter that he is, he did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>His Dad lifted him out of his chair and put him in my lap because he loves to interact with others by pulling your hair, ears, and nose. After half an hour or so he was put back into his own chair and it was time for me to go home again, when out of the blue and in a very clear voice all of us could hear, &nbsp;he said, \u201cI love you, Opa\u201d for the first time in 14 years!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God lifts our hearts and causes us to sing His praises. The familiar hymn, <em>Count Your Blessings<\/em>, reminds us to \u201cCount your many blessings, name them one by one. And it will surprise you what the Lord has done!\u201d All glory to Him!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I will give thanks to the Lord&nbsp;with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
