Children and Children’s Children:

Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,

and the glory of children is their parents. (Pr 17:6)

          Let your father and mother be glad;

let her who bore you rejoice. (Pr 23:25)

Our church celebrated its 50^th year anniversary last weekend—a weekend full of festivities. Our children were raised in the church. From Austin, TX and San Diego, CA our children, along with a few of their children, rendezvous for the event. Our home was full of life like days of old.

Our daughter Rachel insisted on this blog so I could pass on some morning fire pit mussing to our children and our children’s children. It’s been spotty. I’ll keep at it.

For now, Linda and I just want to acknowledge how proud our children and our children’s children made us at the 50^th Anniversary celebration. I don’t know about the second line of the proverb—about the children seeing something good about their parents. But, we know for sure about the first line: “Grandchildren are the crown of the aged” (Pr 17:6). And, that our children and children’s children bring us deep “gladness” (Pr 23:25).
