Being
with my grandson for a few days has brought me some interesting
thoughts. Let me list some of the lessons I have learned:
-
Life
is to be lived each moment to the fullest. I saw my grandson enjoy
the smallest of activities. He could be happy just running through
a field or looking at a strange shaped rock. I marvel at his
ability to enjoy each moment of life. -
A
hug and kiss can heal all. There is more fulfilling that having a
hug and kiss and being told you are the best grandpa in the world.
I often forget that the smallest of gestures can carry great
healing. -
Humor
can also bring relief from the stress of living. My grandson told
me some jokes and some of them did not even make sense but he
laughed and enjoyed them and brought joy to my heart too. Strange
after being around this for a few moments life seems lighter. In
fact I probably take life a bit too seriously. -
Our
importance is not in what we achieve but in who we are. My grandson
thinks I am great and it is not because of what I do but rather
because I spend time with him and give him my undivided attention. -
Family
is very important to me. I love being able to spend time with my
family and need to make sure I balance my life is such a way that my
actions show they are important.
I
am sure that there was more I learned but this is enough to show that
we can learn a great deal even from small children. Enjoy the little
ones that God puts in your life.
