Today my granddaughter Aby came for a visit bearing a special drawing she had made. She had drawn a picture of her "Bops and Nanny" using a purple crayon. Notice it is an autograhped original (she is 3 years old). I added the typed information to a scanned copy of the original which hangs proudly in my office. Aby has a really big imagination. In her drawing of me she decided that I needed some hair -- which departed this life many years ago. Sherry and I (Nanny and Bops) have been truly blessed with two wonderful children and their spouses and four precious grandchildren. I have often boasted, "If I would have known how much fun grandkids were, I would have had them first." [Please, no comments about how that is impossible.] If your a grandparent you know hat I mean. In my Bible readings yesterday, I came across this verse in Proverbs 17:6a, "Children's children are a crown to the aged." The Bible calls grandchildren a crown to the aged. I like that. Not the "aged" part, but the ideal of grandchildren being a "crown." They truly are a blessing. The Lord willing --- I hope to see them grow up and become responsible adults like their parents. My prayer today for them is that the Lord would give them a heart that seeks after HIM, and that they would serve HIM all the days of their lives.

Love it. What an incredible artist she is! Jess and I are thinking that we should go ahead and have grandkids first. I think we are going to keep trying until it happens!
