Silence may be golden but it does not compare to the silver trumpet of grandchildren all talking at the same time. | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story Dylan did at the beach when he they were all here.” And the other will smile and nod remembering the incident. “Remember when all the grandchildren were on the trampoline?” We will and it will be hard to wipe the smile from our faces. Memories are better remembered in silent moments when they can rightly be appreciated. Then my wife said, “Didn't Tyler and Taylor and Jordan and Olivia seem to enjoy playing with their cousins from Ohio? I've never seen them so happy.” In one of those pensive moments I thought about who had the good sense to invent grandchildren. There must have been a quiet moment in heaven when God looked around and said, “It's too quiet here. What can we do to liven things up a little?” Everybody looked at each other and the silence got quieter. It was then that God had one of those moments that changes everything. He smiled and looked at everyone and said, “I know exactly what is needed.” Then God created his greatest work, grandchildren. I like what the Bible says along this line. "Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers." (Proverbs 17:6). God seems to like the idea of grandchildren. "But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;" (Psalms 103:17). Silence may be golden but it does not compare to the silver trumpet of grandchildren all talking at the same time. Tweet
