Ridgell's Originals

We have another grandchild. Andrew Joel Ridgell was born November 19 and Andrew, Joe Don, Jamie, and big sister Anna are all doing well. That makes four grandchildren under two and a half. God sure is blessing us.

Andrew is special for a couple of reasons. The Ridgell name has now seen another generation. The guys who read this know what I mean. There is something humbling and thrilling about knowing your name will continue.

It is also special that he the fourth Joel Ridgell. My dad is Joel Wesley Ridgell, I am Stephen Joel, then Joel Don, and now Andrew Joel. He will hear the stories of his heritage and of the mighty things that God has done thru his fathers. And that will help him to look forward to the mighty things that God will do thru him.

One last really cool deal. Sunday the 18th was baby blessing at Southern Hills and Avery Grace Gilbreth got to be part of that. Mimi and Pops were already emotional at seeing another one of our grandkids committed to the Lord and then that night we get the call that Andrew was on the way. What a day of blessings.

I am reminded again of how great is our God.
