Creating Memories
Recently, my granddaughter Liz came for an overnight visit. As we were visiting that evening, Liz asked me how it is living in my new home after living in a log home for 24 years. She went on to share her memories. She still talks about the golf umbrellas used as tents, protection from the water from the garden hose, and pretend parachutes!
As we sat on my patio late that afternoon, we listened to the birds, watched the clouds, and played the game of what the clouds looked like. We were creating memories for both of us.
Being a grandparent is a privilege and a blessing. Sharing a prayer, celebrating holidays and milestones, and giving and receiving the hugs are treasures for me as the grandmother and for a grandchild.
In the devotion, Grandma’s Building Blocks, based upon these words: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths (Proverbs 3:5–6), you will read a true story about a grandmother, but also a lesson for our lives in any season.
