I've been blessed to enjoy a busy and wonderful summer with sweet, rascal boys . . . they have spent Tuesdays and Thursdays at our house while their parents were at work, and Friday or Saturday nights on sleepover! We have had so much fun!
Mixed in with all this fun, I've noticed something which has reminded me of something important. First, what I have noticed . . .
My three, sweet rascals are all active boys with lots of energy and enthusiasm. If one of them does something, the others notice and typically end up doing the same.
This reminded me to pay attention to how much the boys all watch the grown-ups in their lives. If for no other reason, I need to focus on being a good example and passing on a heritage of confident faith to my three sweet grandsons, because they are watching everything I do and say and if I do/say something, it is likely they will follow suit.
Since it matters so much to me for my three grandsons to grow up to be boys, then teens, then young men, and one day grown men who love, know, and follow God, I will set an example for them now, so they will see what this looks like.
Remember, your grandchildren are watching and they are likely to do/say/think what we do!
