LaoLao’s Concert

Today for several hours I listened to the most beautiful music this side of heaven. No love song by Dion and Bocelli, no piano concert by Horowitz, no guitar solo by Jimi Hendrix, no folk balad by Emmylou Harris, no country crooning by Carrie Underwood, no pop hit by Michael Jackson could ever compare to the beauty of this afternoon’s concert. The fast rhythm was a soft drumming of pattering feet across my living room floor. The crescendo exploded at the end of each stanza with giggles. Soft, loud, occasional and frequent bursts of “LaoLao” “I Loves You”, “Hugs”,”Up” and “Ai-ne (Chinese for I love you) created this heavenly music that left this LaoLao (Grandma) in tears of gratitude for the music of grandchildren. Heavenly music for sure.

Our Family

Why "Go Home and Tell"? Because for many years we pursued the "American Dream". The more we gained materially the less we had family-wise and spiritually. When we finally turned our lives over to the Lord, this scripture came back to me from a testimony I had heard many years earlier. And we made the decision to "GO HOME" as God had wanted us to all along. There is no greater calling, no more rewarding "career" than to be good spouses to each other and good parents to our children. We have a long way to go, but as the scripture says " ...and how HE has had MERCY on you". Thank you, Lord, for Your Mercy as we daily "Go Home and Tell".
