Oh it is hard to contain the joy of a new grandparent. You would think that with their advanced years and gray hairs this would be a low-key sort of event, but that is hardly the case around here. I think the sound of walkers banging together will soon drive me right 'round the bend!
Of course new grandparents are not all that old. Back in olden times some were even as young as 29 or 30 when the first grandbabies came. On the other hand, given the firm and steadfast advance of my own age it will soon not be long that I will say great-grandparents are not all that old. Now, imagine the reign of Christ on Earth when children may not be considered grown until the tender age of 100 or so (it comes from Isaiah's prophecies). Why a person might be 200 or more before the grandbabies begin arriving. Imagine the goofy joy of the grandparents after waiting that long.
God's blessings on the new grandbabies in the world, and may we return to the Lord as a nation to give those little children the Way, the Truth and the Life!
