As I Grow Old
God keep my heart attuned to laughter
When youth is done;
When all the days are gray days, coming after
The warmth, the sun.
God keep me then from bitterness,
from grieving,
When life seems cold;
God keep me always loving and believing
As I grow old.

GOOD MORNING !
I thought the poem above was appropriate for Grandparents Day. This holiday isn’t celebrated by everyone, but it is on the calendar for today.
The joys of my life these days are my children and my grandchildren. I call them my ‘babes’ It seems that my life would consist of very little without them all. So I’m celebrating Grandparents Day because that means that first of all --I’m a parent.
The good Lord certainly has blessed me over and over and for that I’m truly grateful.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Grandparents bestow upon their grandchildren
The strength and wisdom that time
And experience have given them.
Grandchildren bless their Grandparents
With a youthful vitality and innocence
That help them stay young at heart forever.
Together they create a chain of love
Linking the past with the future.
The chain may lengthen,
But it will never part...
