In my post with subject line Some Personal Thoughts, I mentioned 
grandsons who are addicted to alcohol and other drugs.  In all 
fairness, I must say that 3 of the 5 are doing well, working and 
raising their children.  Sad to say, though, that one has 4 babies, 
and is now serving time in Federal prison for some crime.  I'm not 
sure what, but perhaps had to do with drugs and also illegal gun 
possession.  The 5th grandson went downhill bad, and his mom is 
raising his 7-year-old daughter.  However, the Lord worked it out so 
that he is now living with his mom and exposed to the gospel, the 
bible and church once again.  Their pastor is not much older than he 
(Jeremy), has been through some of the sins that Jeremy has, and has 
befriended Jeremy, in the church and out of it.

That's the background.  I have 6 granddaughters, 5 of whom know and 
love the Lord.  I learned yesterday that number 6 who does not 
(Sarah), along with Jeremy and his sister Amanda (who does know and 
love the Lord) have been chatting on My Space with 2 other 
granddaughters who love the Lord.  I understand that Jeremy is asking 
many questions about spiritual matters, which Amanda, Maija and 
Sylvija can answer.  I pray that these cousins will continue their 
close relationship, and that Jeremy and Sarah will submit their lives 
to our Lord Jesus Christ.

One more thing and then I'll quit this.  When Jeremy was 8 years old, 
he was at church with me and his mom, and when the altar call was 
given, he got off the seat and knelt on the floor facing the seat, 
with his hands folded in prayer, and asked Jesus to be his 
Saviour.  I knelt beside him.  That is a sweet memory for me, and to 
know that God is not slack in fulfilling His promises, Jeremy will 
come back to Him now.

Just needed to share all that with you..........

In Jesus' Love, with grateful heart
Helen
