A couple weeks ago I posted a photo on the Legacy Coalition - Grandparenting Matters Facebook page of my grandsons climbing our "family tree" - an enormous maple tree which their grand uncle and dad climbed when they were boys and carved the names of all our family members on the branches. I wrote about Isaiah 49:16 and how God's love for us is everlasting and faithful and spoke about helping our grandchildren - no matter their age - love, know and follow their loving and faithful God all of their lives.
Ten days ago I mentioned one more thing about the photo of my grandsons in this tree . . . did you notice the boys' Poppa is in the photo, too? When our grandsons where up in this enormous tree, he was standing right there, watching over them, ready to help - or catch them, should he need to do so. The boys knew this and enjoyed their time in the tree, trusting Poppa was there to catch them if the need arose!
