He spent time on his poppa's shoulders and other time with me watching for his dad and brothers, so we would be able to get lots of photos of them. While he would have preferred - much preferred to run through the mud, he took on the job of "Look Out/Spotter" and helped us keep an eye out for his dad and brothers.

Stuck in the Mud & Correct Science
Friday morning my grandsons and I were talking about how
they were going to be participating in the Mud Run the next day. My six-year old grandson asked me if he might get stuck in the mud. I laughed and told him I was sure he would not get stuck - just muddy and wet!
Then we talked about a time when I was a little younger than he was and got stuck in the mud. I was sure I would be stuck forever and I was certain I would sink all the way to China.

The Mud Run 2017


My six year old grandson thought it was wonderful! He enjoyed being muddy and wasn't bothered about the course being 1.5 miles (which initially sounded a bit long to him). And yes, he and my almost nine year old grandson and my son all got really muddy!

On This Day

Today's post made me laugh - all over again as I clearly laughed last year when it happened. So, today I thought I'd share with you what happened, "On This Day" at this grandma's house.

The Top Three Things I Want My Grandsons to Believe

I do know God's Word is the best "antidote" for Satan's lies as we are absolutely able to believe it all of the time, so I want my grandsons to grow up knowing this and believing it as well! There are certainly many things in God's Word which I want my grandsons to believe, but there are three which if they fully believe, they will believe the others as well; these three are . . .

Be Intentional - It Matters!

Grandparents are in a very special time of their lives - the time when they are grandparents! This is not the time to retire, put our feet up and just do things we want to do. No! This is the time to do what really matters - for us to be intentional about passing on our faith to our grandchildren.
So, take time today to pray for your grandchildren to be people who remember God's teaching and take it to heart. Then, think about what you might do this week to be intentional about passing on your faith! It matters!

The People I Want My Grandsons to Be
I want my grandsons to be people who show love, mercy and hospitality to those who come into their lives. I want them to have tender hearts, so they are quick to stand up for and help those in need. I want them to be people who love others in word and deed. I want them to know and live Romans
12:9-21 as it is absolutely true and the answer to the evil, sadness and pain in this
world –

imaginations. Since my grandsons have creative imaginations as well, I was very
happy to say I'd participate in the review of Ally-saurus

Let's Choose to Stop the Anger & Hate

But, the violence in Charlottesville breaks my heart. I would like to call upon you to take the stand to see others, not by some political party, but as people. Family, friends, people you know, people who are family and friends of others.

Tomorrow - August 11, 2017 - is Son & Daughter Day


It also happens to be a great evening to watch the Perseid meteor shower and my son and his family are planning to camp in my yard to watch the meteors . . . so, celebrating my family will be easy to do! And, since today is 'Smores Day, one way we will celebrate tomorrow is by making 'smores - it won't matter for it to be one day after 'Smores Day.
What will you do to celebrate Son & Daughter Day?

Do What Matters
I saw this on the Christian Grandparenting Network's site the other day and knew I wanted to share it with you. It is a great question, but has a very easy answer.
Clearly one answer matters and one does not.

grandma's bookshelf - Don't Go to School! - I'm Giving One Away!
My grandsons head back to school in just a few weeks . . . it is
difficult to believe Summer vacation is almost over for 2017. While I do not
have any grandchildren heading off to Kindergarten, when I was invited to
review a new book about going to school for the first time, I thought it
sounded like a fun idea and said; "Yes!"

Be Your Grandchildren's "Direction Sign" - The Legacy Grandparenting Summit Will Help!
Oh yes! Most definitely, yes! As grandparents - in my case as a grandma, there is a definite purpose, reason, need for me and for my intentional attention to being a "direction sign" by passing on a heritage of faith, to my grandsons. It matters what I do. It is important.
