A loving Testimony

Yes, I've been slack in my blogging since my return from the last trip. Sometimes it's difficult to think of something to blog about; sometimes, I often wonder if I can blog on anything that will appeal to my readers; and, sometimes, I just don't feel like even blogging. Today I do feel like it so here goes.

On Monday, one of my friends and I went to a nearby mall to browse mostly (when clerks now ask me if they can help me, I am responding with, "No, I'm enjoying browsing". This replaces that old standby response, "Just looking." More "mod", or uptown, would you say?) Anyway, while browsing in a really neat store, Southern Seasons, I observed the most touching scene. There was an older lady (not old, perhaps 70) with 2 young people (ages probably 12 to 15), her grandchildren (I heard them call her "Grandmother"). She was showing them a beautiful coffee pot/thermos and trying to tell them about it. Grandmother was having some difficulty getting her sentences formed but the children, a boy and a girl, were patiently listening to her. She told them how well the pot worked at keeping the coffee very hot. One of the children asked her if she wanted to purchase it and that they would get the clerk for her if she did. They were such thoughtful children that I was so impressed! When they walked off, I saw that the grandmother was evidently a stroke victim because she walked with a limp and had no use of one of her arms. The children were walking on either side of her demonstrating such care for their dear grandmother. I could just see the love flowing from the three of them! What a beautiful sight this was! How wonderful it would be if we could all feel such warmth and love flowing from our children and grandchildren, especially as we are getting older and have such a desire and need for more and more tender loving care. I believe these children have learned that they will not always have this dear family member with them for lots of years for they seem to be cherishing the time that they do have to spend with her.
What a testimony of family love!
