One of the greatest blessings our Lord granted each of us was the ability to have grandchildren! They are so innocent and see things from such different eyes as compared to those of us with aged eyes. My middle son’s oldest daughter saw such beauty in everything we took her to in Michigan, including the things she has seen before. Her energy inspired and at times overwhelmed. Her eagerness to see more was beyong inspiring.
That I think is how each of us should view God. Even with aged eyes our hearts become wiser and we are able to separate what is truly important from that that is superficial. There really is a lot of truth between age and wisdom as there is to the heart of the young who see beauty in so many things and are eager to grow and learn. As always after such trips, I am amazed at the years the Lord has graciously granted to me since my diagnosis. I am amazed that I am still in this world and have seen so much in the 9 years since my diagnosis and being told I had 18 months to live. Praise God indeed for His mercies are new every morning.
