I have no
greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

What
a wonderful weekend! We spent every minute we could with our kids and
grandkids, and my heart is so full.
Friday night we celebrated our granddaughter's ninth birthday with all of her favorite foods and, of course, a delicious birthday cake. Saturday was spent almost entirely in the pool. I have to say, I am so proud of how much both of my grandkids have improved their swimming this year. Watching them become more confident and willing to try new things made this MeowMeow smile.
That evening we watched the neighborhood light up the sky with fireworks, and we lit a few of our own. My favorite moment wasn't one of the loud explosions or colorful displays—it was seeing my four-year-old grandson peacefully asleep in his mommy's lap, headphones on, completely content while the celebration continued all around him. Such a sweet little face.
Sunday was made for adventure. We loaded up the four-wheelers, explored trails for hours, laughed, talked, and simply enjoyed being together.
As wonderful as all of those moments were, they reminded me that the greatest blessing isn't the birthday party, the swimming pool, the fireworks, or the trail rides. It's watching the next generation grow—not only in age and confidence, but also in faith and character. There truly is no greater joy than seeing our children and grandchildren learning to love God and walk in His ways.
Whether you're a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or someone who pours into the life of a child, never underestimate the impact you can have. The time you spend together, the prayers you pray, the example you set, and the love you show may be shaping a heart for eternity.
