Right here! Right Here!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those words are on repeat with our 2-year-old granddaughter. She points with her tiny finger, letting you know where to put her bowl of oatmeal on the table:&nbsp;<em>\u201cRight here.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;When I take my shoes off, again, a little finger and repeated words of&nbsp;<em>\u201cRight here, right here, right here\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;lets me know the exact place to set my shoes. I\u2019m chuckling recalling it even now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those repeated words are also an invitation to her heart. We have a little blanket with a red heart on it we use to read books. She likes to get all \u201ccozy\u201d under the blanket and then will invite me to sit&nbsp;<em>\u201cright here, right here, right here\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;next to her, that little finger showing me the exact spot right next to her. The invitation to read to her almost feels sacred to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We live too many miles away from her, so family get-togethers are some of our favorite days. She was recently with us for a long weekend. When she walked in the door after not being in each other\u2019s physical presence for about 2 months, she said on repeat&nbsp;<em>\u201cGammy\u2019s here, Gammy\u2019s here.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;The next morning when she came downstairs, she sweetly smiled at me and again,&nbsp;<em>Grammy\u2019s here<\/em>. Each morning, she repeated with that precious smile upon seeing us,&nbsp;<em>\u201cGrammy\u2019s here\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<em>\u201cGrampy\u2019s here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The word \u201chere\u201d means a lot to my granddaughter. Her joy shows when she sees we are \u2018right here\u2019 and still here even the next day. And it means a lot to me, and to you. It\u2019s presence. We are present, together\u2014in companionship, fellowship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As her grandparents, people in her life who have been trusted to teach her about the Lord, I\u2019m pondering how this relates to helping her understand someone even greater is \u201cright here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What a wondrous joy it is to think about showing her and helping her understand Jesus is right here.&nbsp;<em>He is with her.&nbsp;<\/em>He will never leave her. When she is sad, scared, unsure, or in need of comfort, Jesus is here.&nbsp;And He is RIGHT HERE. Ever present, intimate, always everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My prayer for our precious granddaughter is for the presence of the Lord in her life to be so heavy and joyfully clear, she is able to say with confidence, \u201cJesus is right here!\u201d and that sweet little finger will point to her heart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s commit to being intentional about finding ways, working with what we have, to teach and remind our children and grandchildren the Lord is here and His sacrifice on the cross allows us to know Him personally and to say with confidence, <em>Jesus is right here.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u8ba9\u6211\u4eec\u627f\u8bfa\u7528\u5fc3\u5bfb\u627e\u65b9\u6cd5\uff0c\u5229\u7528\u6211\u4eec\u6240\u62e5\u6709\u7684\u4e00\u5207\uff0c\u6559\u5bfc\u5e76\u63d0\u9192\u6211\u4eec\u7684\u5b50\u5b59\u4e3b\u5c31\u5728\u8fd9\u91cc\u3002.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-238998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-generational-living"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/legacycoalition.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/legacycoalition.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/legacycoalition.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/legacycoalition.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/legacycoalition.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238998"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/legacycoalition.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238998\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":239005,"href":"https:\/\/legacycoalition.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238998\/revisions\/239005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/legacycoalition.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/legacycoalition.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/legacycoalition.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
