DearAlaya,
How are things going for you? School? Friends? Mom and Dad? You have been particularly in our prayers, Grandpa's and mine, lately. I wish I was there to give you a hug and just hold you for a bit.
I'm very happy you have had your Danish family there to give you kisses.
Yet, I am concerned for you. So, I have some words for you as words will just now have to do. These words were part of my journaling today:
Lord Jesus, I lift up my precious granddaughter, Alaya, today. I don't really know what is going on with her, what things are on her mind and heart that trouble her, but I want her to have a healthy mind and heart so she can truly love those around her. You and I know, Jesus, that she will always be happy if she is thinking not of herself but of others. You and I also know that in order to do that she will have to put her trust in you, for it is impossible to just think of others without your leading and blessing upon us.
So, I am asking for you to particularly bless her with your love. Help her to accept it with her mind, her heart, and her voice. And as she says the words, "Lord Jesus, I accept your love," she will forget about herself in a negative way and be happy to receive all the goodness you have for her. Help her, then, to take your love and pass it around with her smile and good deeds to all she meets. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for gifting this most prescious child with your countenance. May it stay with her forever, but if it should disappear, help Alaya to remember YOU and how you can help her to achieve the true way to love. Thank you, dear Savior. Amen!
Go in peace, Little One, so precious to me!
Grandma Jo
