Whenever I feel sorry for myself because I’m getting old, and getting old does have a negative side, there is the positive side. If I was not as old as I am, I would never have seen my Great-granddaughter.

I now know why they call it the "waiting room." All you can do in that
room is wait, wait, wait. My waiting was weighing heavy upon my 
patience. 

Over two hours later, we received notification that she had the baby and
we could go in. 

As we walked down the hall to the room, we were stopped, and it was the
wrong baby. Therefore, we had to go back to the "waiting room" and wait 
some more. 

Finally, we got another call, and it was the right one this time, and we
went in and saw the new baby, my great-granddaughter. Of all the babies 
I've seen, this has to be one of the most beautiful. 

We all had the privilege of holding this baby, and I was elated when it
was my turn. I now could go home and rub this in The Gracious Mistress 
of the Parsonage's face. I got to hold our great-granddaughter before 
she did. I certainly will remember this for the rest of my life. 

Wallowing in my delight about my new Great-granddaughter I could not
help but think of what Solomon said in Proverbs 17:6, “Children's 
children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their 
fathers.” 

Whenever I feel sorry for myself because I'm getting old, and getting
old does have a negative side, there is the positive side. If I was not 
as old as I am, I would never have seen my Great-granddaughter.
