Grandchildren
Are The Reward
Of Old People
Scripture
6 Grandchildren are the reward of old people. And children are proud of their parents.
Observation
Kathy
and I had a good chuckle this morning when I read this verse to her in several
different translations.
I
liked this translation because it called us “old people”! For us “old people”
our grandchildren do make our day!
We
have 10 grandchildren and we don’t get to see them nearly as much as we would
like. But we have the best grandchildren in the world and we love it when we do
get to see them.
We
took Amelie (our youngest granddaughter who is almost 3) to the library
yesterday and we laughed when she decided that the place was way too quiet and
she to let out a few shouts/screams of joy!
She
couldn’t understand and got her feelings hurt when Grandpa got on to her and
told her Shhhhh!
Grandchildren
are definitely the reward for us “old people”!
The
second part of the verse is our desire and our hope! Kathy and I want to live
out our lives in a way that makes our children proud of us. Hope that is your
goal too!
Application
I
will enjoy my grandkids when we get to see them. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I pray for our grandchildren Lyric, Hayley, Chloe, Liliana, Bub,
Sierra, Louie, Alyssa, Tori, and Amelie. And I pray for their parents too!
Don’t let us miss any opportunities to enjoy time with them. I pray that all of
them will be drawn to a close relationship with You. Work in their hearts and
help them to put their trust in You.
