GRANDDAUGHTERS AND GRANDSONS...

GRANDDAUGHTERS AND
    GRANDSONS....
    ©Kerrie O'Hearn Marquart

Granddaughters are made for loving
Grandmothers are made for hugs
Grandfathers are made for teasing
Grandsons are made to catch bugs.

Little hands were made to get dirty
Little dolls were made to hold
Little trucks were made to push
Elders were made to scold.

Little feet were made to run
Little smiles were meant to please
Little ones were made to have fun
Grandparents were made to age with ease.

Little girls grow up to be Mommies
Little boys grow up to be Dads
They all grow up to be Grandparents
If they are lucky lass and lads!

For there is no greater pleasure
Than a granddaughter or grandson
Old age's wonderful reward....
For once having loved someone.

Sunday Blooms!

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING TO YOU!  This is the same cactus as in the last post.  It just keeps opening buds and there are plenty more to come.  It loves the cold night temps we have been having.  It is such a great color.  The other one that I have had for 40 some odd years blooms closer to Christmas and is a deep red.  I cannot wait to see that one!  Isn't it wonderful that God gave us so many beautiful livng things to fill us wih joy and simple peasures?  I am filled with awe whenever I look at the details in nature that are so precise and beautiful.  Today I am thankful for cerulean blue skies with puffy little clouds here and there, fall leaves on the ground, the browning grass and the mischievious squirrels.  I am thankful for a lovely weekend with grandchildren filling the house with giggles and camping out on blow-up mattresses in the living room! And yes even for the 2 little dogs that came with them-ha!
    Thank you Lord for every blessing that you give to us and for all of those yet to come.  Amen.
