Benjamin

            Big blue eyes sparkle through big blue glasses.  A trail of drool reflects light off his chin.  Wispy light red hair crowns his head.  Blue hearing aids blend in, and the picture is complete:  there is smiling Benjamin.
            Bubbles of joy rise up within my soul, popping into smiles.  My heart seizes up with great love and longing as I consider the beautiful boy Benjamin is.  How I am blessed by his being in this world.
            Through my grandson God is teaching me about unconditional love by letting me experience it.  We are all Benjamins to God—full of promise, treasures to our King.  Our value is not in our accomplishments but in our being.  God counts each life as sacred.  Each of us reflects a bit of His image.
