My grandsons are not quiet, shy, soft-spoken boys; they have loads of energy - far more than I even think of having! These three boys definitely tire me out, but tired or not, I happily look forward to the time they spend at my house during the summer! Why? The following are my Top Five Reasons . . .
- I absolutely take seriously my responsibility, and joy, to pass on a heritage of confident faith to my grandsons. I want them to grow to love, know, and walk with Jesus all of their lives and will do anything I can to help them. I know nothing in this life matters if they grow up and do not believe; I want them to spend eternity in Heaven, so I do all I can to pass on a heritage of confident faith.
- I want my grandsons to know beyond a shadow of doubt, I love them. I want them to hear it and experience it throughout their lives. I love them and want them to know this for sure!
- My grandsons like to come to my house - they want to be here! Especially in the summer, it is nice for them to spend time each week at my house. I hope as they grow up they continue to want to spend time with their poppa and me!
- They are my grandsons. This in and of itself is enough of a reason!
- They fill my heart with joy! I love spending time with them - they are active and energetic, but they are also sweet and loving and funny!
I treasure the time I get to spend with my grandsons and want to pass on a heritage of confident faith, so I happily take the opportunities which come to spend time with them - after all, I know these years will fly by and they will be grown before I know it. It won't be too many more years before they are bigger, but I know the time I spend now is an investment - one I absolutely want to make!
