Just Call Me Blessed!

Hello My Precious Teddy Bears!
Isn't it funny how we go through life with different names and titles? And how those names change as we move from different stages of our lives?  Well I cherish my titles of sister, favorite aunt, cousin, neice, teacher/Mrs. Sheri, etc., but my most precious titles have been daughter, wife, mother and grandmother.  Along with the title of daughter came the name Sheri D'Lyn. My husband gave me the nickname of Sugar Bear. The Mother title brought about the name Mama, which changed to Mom as my kids got older.  Now I am a Grandmother and the name that I chose to be called is GrannyMa.  Why?  Well, I had a Granny, my kids have a Granny, so I wanted my grandkids to have a Granny.  Darwin did not agree.  He said that I was not "old enough" to be called Granny.  That's when I decided to combine Granny with Grandma, and be called GrannyMa.  But did you know that it doesn't really matter what I want to be called?  All four of my grandkids have had their own way of saying GrannyMa--GanGan, GannyMa, GeeMa (G as in get), and the latest addition is BaNaw.  Each one is as sweet to my ears as the one before. Even though I love all my names and titles, none can compare to being called a "Child of God"! I am so happy that I have a name and title as important as this.  My love for all of my family only compares dimly to the love that God has for me.  I am so blessed to have them and Him in my life.
