Two of my girls got the chance to go spend the weekend with both sets of grandparents in Olympia, WA this weekend.  Janay from Phoenix and
Abby from Denver.  It was Janay’s chance to see them (and the Peabody uncles and aunts) before moving to Cambodia next month and Abby’s chance to not only see all of them but to also have a chance to say goodbye to her sister.

What a special time for all of them.  I wish I could have been there, but in a way am glad I wasn’t so that my presence and conversation wasn’t a factor in all the sweetness that happened.  Love, laughter, deep conversations and just catching up.  Not just as grandkids visiting their grandparents, but as young women enjoying the fellowship and wisdom of these four people who have so much life experience to share with them.

My mom graciously invited a group of people to come and hear from Janay what it is she’s going to be doing in Cambodia.  I heard from both sets of  grandparents and Abby that she did a fantastic job of sharing her heart and the heart of the organization (Daughters of Cambodia) that she is going with.  (She’ll be doing the same thing here on Friday for my friends and neighbors – can hardly wait!)

Immediately after the girls left Olympia I got a call from my parents and an email from Mark’s parents.  All thrilled beyond measure to have gotten to spend the time with their granddaughters.  Funny thing is, though the goal for the girls was to go and bless their grandparents, the blessing came back to them a hundredfold.

And my mama heart, even from a distance, smiled with thankfulness….
