Anyone my age will tell you that it is tough sometimes taking care of young grandchildren. Never question our love for them. That goes without writing. Often the mind is willing but the body wants to play out. The past couple of days I had three of my grandkids, the youngest being 16 months and the oldest 6. Today through Wednesday before and after school and overnight I have four grandkids. The second set will be easier as they are in school during the day but I must focus on past years of a routine of getting them up and ready for school and then pick up.
The Bible speaks of what a blessing it is to have grandchildren. The more generations a person is able to see the greater the blessing. It is sad to read of so many young people opting not to have children. Some of those reasons I can understand though my heart says that every child is worth every sacrifice. If you have children, love on them. If you have grandchildren, loving them is much easier – probably because they go home at the end of the day:) We are all so blessed to live in this country. Let each of us be grateful and thankful for each joy each day brings, especially through the eyes of young grandkids.
