"Second Time Around"

     I believe grandchildren are God’s way of letting us have a second chance to recognize and enjoy all those things that we missed the first time around because we were just too busy.  To know the strength of a toddler, as they take your finger and lead you to where they wish to go or to see the look of determination as they tackle life’s latest challenge.  The gentleness of a quiet, “I love you” as they lay their head on your shoulder.  Hurried voices full of excitement retelling a new discovery or the contentment of just sitting in your lap.  If we were to have nothing of this world’s goods and yet had the blessing of children and grandchildren then we are rich beyond compare.  Thank you Lord for the second time around.
