Grandchildren

Grandchildren are the crown of old men, And the glory of sons is their father.  (Proverbs 17:6, NASB)

I can indeed attest that “grandchildren are the crown of old men.”  Sue and I have 12 grandkids, and each one is precious.  I’m not sure if King Solomon was a grandpa when he wrote this.  He probably was, else how would he have known what treasures they are?  And it’s possible if he had grandsons, that one could have been an heir to his throne, and an ancestor to Messiah Jesus! 

Our grandchildren, in order of their birth, are:  Luke; George; Jackson; Colleen; Wade; Michael; William; Samuel; Wyatt; Hadley; Westley; and Louisa.  (Didn’t think I could do it, huh?)  These are 12 of our 18 most precious earthly gifts. 

Proverbs 17:6 image.  Found at Knowing Jesus, https://dailyverse.knowing-jesus.com/proverbs-17-6.

Dear Jackson, Colleen, Sam, Louisa, Luke, George, Michael, Wade, William, Wyatt, Hadley, and West, 

You are all so precious to us.  We love you all.  One of the things we dreamed of when we retired was to travel to see you all and spend as much time as possible with each one of you.  But then Pops got sick.  So we have to see you whenever you can visit us, and talk with you whenever we can, and do FaceTime.  We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you!

We pray every day for each one of you.  We pray that God will bless your Mom and your Dad (this is really important!) and your family.  We pray blessings on your home, and that God will keep peace in your house.  We pray that God will keep you healthy and that He will protect you.  If you’re sick, we pray that God will heal you.  We pray for you as you go to school and learn.  We pray for you as you work and play, and as you go to your activities.  We pray that you will learnmore about God, and grow to love Him more every day.  We pray that you will ask Jesus into your heart, if you haven’t already.  

Love God and love other people.  Honor your father and your mother, and God has promised you long life if you do.  Love your brothers and sisters, your cousins, and your aunts and uncles.  Love Jesus.  

With so much love, 
Pops
