According to my Daily Almanac Newsletter, today, September 8, 2024 is Grandparents' Day. Everyday they share a quote, poem, etc. Today's quote was the inspiration for this layout.
Quote reads: Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.
—Alex Haley, American writer (1921-92)
Journaling reads: I only have a few grandchildren, on my side of the family, that would fit the category of “children” as most of them are older now and, really, are young adults! But, I still like to think that I have an influence in their lives when I get the chance to see them. I try to act and talk in a godly manner before them. This picture was taken June 1, 2024 as we had our “Memorial Day Weekend” gathering the following weekend of the holiday. Michael and Jessica and Kara are missing. Michael is my oldest grandchild and is out on his own now. Jessica and Kara were moving Kara to their friend’s house in Maryland where Kara will attend college this fall. Thank You, Lord, for blessing me with a wonderful family! I only wish mom and dad were still alive to know this great blessing!
