Grandchildren

There is something so fun about being with children. We went to the zoo with a group from the church and had a wonderful time. Just watching a child get excited and listening to them laugh just lifts my spirits. And when that child is one of my grandchildren, it makes it so much better. Young children don't worry about the things we are so concerned about. They don't care if their hair is not right or if their clothes are not the latest fashion. They don’t care about what their friends think of them. They just enjoy life. It is such a shame that as we get older and we lose that joy of the moment. It seems that children are losing that joy so early in their life now days. We push them to grow up, and we don’t realize that we are taking away that innocent joy in their lives. One reason that I think we all enjoy our grandchildren so much is it gives us a chance to reclaim that carefree feeling. So put on the funny hat and skip around the park. If you have a grandchild beside you everyone thinks you are just having a good time. Life will catch up to your children so fast, let them be babies as long as you can and enjoy the fun.
