In an Instant



First of all, RARELY am I ever short of words to say or write. But, last Wednesday was one of those "Kodak Moments" that you wish could last forever. One of those rare times in your life that you actually feel God's very strong in your life, like He is right there looking over your shoulder. One of thsoe rare times when your life flashes before your very eyes. The words are so close, but yet so very far away and words just don't do it justice at all. No where even close. But last Wednesday 6-30-2010 at 5:09pm a new legacy was started and our first grandchild, Payton Landry Coats was born. First, I praise God for the miracle of life and for the love that Brad and Elisha have for each other. A good long time friend Charles Bamburg told me last week, "There's nothing like it in the world", and I think He was right about that. Now, I still have not totally grasp this whole Grand Parent thing, but I am sure it won't take long.

When I look into Payton's face, I see many of my son's facial features and I see the petite character of his mom. So tiny at a whopping 5lbs but so incredible to just look at. Tiny hands, tiny feet, but a strong set of lungs. When my wife holds her in her arms, her face lights up. That look can not be earned and is yet another gift from our Heavenly Father.

So our legacy continues and God is to be praised as the giver of life.

Till next time,
