Being a grand parent is SO much more than I ever thought it would be. It is an opportunity to watch those adults that we raised to put into action all that we taught them. The good, bad, and the educated. We hope that “the bad” they realize and correct, but it is the educated I want to reflect on now.
All three of our children are smart...not just book smart...not just common sense smart...not just street smart...and not just Bible smart. They are all three, all of these...just not all the time or at the same time. They educate each other too, I love that about them. They also educate us. For my husband that is not easy, he is very intelligent. Like all of us though, we don't know everything. So, we are glad our children are learners. The internet is such a great tool to learn and do research...and to find trivial facts. Vacations with the kids was always the best. We would go somewhere and hear...”Did you know...?” from one of them all the time. What was really cool was when one would start the ball rolling and the next would say, “and did you know...?” I would ask where did you hear that, and they would tell us that they read it somewhere.
