Proverbs 17:6 says "Grandchildren are the crown of old me." What a beautiful thought. If grandchildren are a crown then that would have to mean they are a shining jewel to behold. That is so true. Mine and Karen's grandchildren are a joy to us. Just to hear them say Papa and Nan and to see their face light up when you walk into the room is priceless.
With that being said, I often hear people say "If I had known how much fun grandchildren were, I would have had them first". While it is true you do have fun with your grandchildren, it is a different relationship than you have with your children. Mine and Karen's two sons have brought us nothing but joy and happiness and I would not trade that for anything in the world. "Behold children are a gift of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them." Psalm 127:3-5.
Here is the truth of the matter. It doesn't matter how old you or they either one get, your children and grandchildren will always be your babies.
This old cowboy loves his kids (that includes his daughter in law) and grand kids very much.
Until next time keep you saddle cinched and may your trails be smooth.
