Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Our family is getting excited about our younger son and his wife's baby due this month.  Yesterday our daughter-in-law called me and my heart jumped, but it was just because she'd locked herself out of their house, and needed to borrow our keys.  I teased her she shouldn't call unless it was the baby.  She's packed her bag for the hospital, and they are very organized.  The baby's room looks sweet, with crib, changing table, rocking chair and mobile.  I'm in charge of babysitting their dog and cat while they are at the hospital, and will spend the night with them.  It's hard to believe I'll have a fourth grandchild very soon.  Each child is so different and I can't wait to see what this grandson is like.  He will benefit from a large, loving family on each side, that's for sure.  Many boy cousins around his age, and one baby girl.  And an older cousin who will be old enough to babysit him in a couple of years.  This family expansion is such a blessing, and on each side every sibling has at least one child, so they are all on the same page.  I wish I'd had that kind of support when I was having my kids, but luckily, this time around, there is an abundance of family.
