it's the children

My newest frame...

filled with my grand babies.

Someone said this to me recently,

"It seems that you always have such fun at your house."

(thanks Alli)

My response was.

"It's the children."

They make life wonderful,

they keep me young at heart,

they teach me new things,

and they keep me humble.

Lucy told me this the other day....

she had read it in a book with her mom...

"Grammy,

have your teeth rotted out yet?"

Supposedly,

according to the book,

the rotting process starts in a person just a little older than me.

"Let Christian boys and girls

 ponder these things well

and take example from the conduct of

Jesus at age twelve....

Let them remember,

that if they are old enough to do wrong,

they are old enough to do right.

Let them also remember

that if they are old enough to read story books and to talk,

they are also able to

read their Bibles and pray.

Let them remember

 that they are accountable to God,

even while they are yet young,

and that

 'God heard the voice of a lad.' 

Genesis 21:17

Happy

are those families whose children

seek the Lord early

and cost their parents no tears.

Happy

are those parents

who can say of their boys and girls when absent from them,

'I can trust my children

 that they will not willfully run into sin.' "
