Enjoying the Simple Things in Life

Tuesday's Grand Connection Thought
by Mary May Larmoyeux

Pops and I have recently moved. After living in the same house for 28 years, it was quite a job to pack up not only belongings, but also memories! We now live in the country where the sunsets and sunrises are spectacular.

Of course, gorgeous sunsets and sunrises are nothing new, but Pops and I are noticing them on a daily basis. And it's been fun to share God's handiwork with the grandkids as we've watched sunsets together.

Speaking of grandkids, recently I was "grandsitting" out-of-town grands for several days. A big activity was playing with a large rubber ball in the backyard. I think we made some fun memories as we took turns throwing and kicking it.

Watching sunsets and sunrises ... throwing a ball to the grands—simple things of life. They have no pricetag, but are priceless. And the older I get, the more I recognize their worth.

What are some of the simple things in life that you enjoy with your grandchildren?

He is able,
Mary
