Story to tell...

Today, as a Grampa, I was warmly surprised to learn that my 7-year-old grandson used an expression on his return trip home with his dad after attending a wedding with us the other day. While driving past a very old aged and rundown barn structure, such as the one shown here, out of his young mouth came the words: "Story to tell...!" I was impressed to think he was quoting his Grampa, as I have often said exactly the same words when passing such structures viewed off in the distance while travelling. I used to precede my comments by saying "If that building could talk, there would undoubtedly be many stories it could tell us quoting people, who have entered it or been within ear-shot of it's walls." Searching back through this blog, I recalled earlier posts addressing similar thoughts (April, 2018, " and March, 2022)  "A story to tell...", "Another story to tell...".

All that to say, I am realizing that even as a Grandparent, our youngsters learn from all people in their lives, in addition to their parents. And it is critically important to realize that virtually all aspects of our relationships with them and other family members will become an ongoing memory in their lives! 

In summary, I am once again reminded that only God can and will guide us as we strive to seek and to set a Christian lifestyle to share with all others. As this old barn, our individual lives over time, will also become "A story to tell."
