A Little Tug of War

This morning I got up early, I heard the Grandson’s early wake up call. You know when he wakes up, he is ready to play or eat and not much in between. He is such a joy to be around. This makes me think of last Sunday.

Sunday morning my plans were to hang out with the Grandson for a bit and make my way to church with the Mrs. No matter what anyone believes this is the truth. We had some breakfast. All of us got to marvel at the speed the Grandson could crawl. If crawling were an Olympic sport, Logan (our Grandson) would be trying out for it. He could compete with infantrymen on this I am quite certain. The dude is really fast, Cobra fast!!!!

The morning progressed and as one may know, crawling can take the energy right out of you. So suddenly I was faced with a dilemma. That is, do I let the Grandson sit on my chest and go to sleep. This would mean missing church. The other choice was to say, “young man pace yourself and you will have to be tired because I got to go to church.” I do not think he is there yet to understand all of that, lol. Now some will say that the devil was tempting me. I beg to differ.

I believe that the good Lord himself, would want me to enjoy this time with the Grandson. For it is soothing to the soul. I can still believe in God and do Christian things without going to the church. Understand that I have been closer to God prior to a convoy than sometimes in a Church, don’t get me wrong I am not knocking a church. I am just calling it like it is. Church does not hold a patent on being in touch with the Lord. The other part is my Grandson will only be young like this for a limited time. Later in his life, I will become hmmm, how do I say it in modern terms, “boring!” That is part of life, so I have to smell the roses while they are in bloom.

To be honest, nothing I have found to be more Godly than being around my Grandchildren. They are priceless, innocent and just little sponges. I do wish they were old enough to turn wrenches with me on cars though. So, I think I will take my chances on being absent and deal with that with the good Lord one on one. Something tells me that he has my back on this one.

This is my Friday’s Thought to Ponder for the Weekend!!!!
