The world is a wonderful and crazy place and I have a few thoughts about navigating your way through. Doesn't mean my thoughts are doctrine...just my doctrine.
And since many of my grandchildren don't read yet...I'm just hoping that some day, some way they read this. Here are my four thoughts...
1. Kissing is the best invention ever. Really it is. It's a way to be close to other human beings. There are two kinds of kissing...the kind we do on Eddie's luscious chubbiness, or the kind when you give your grandma a kiss on the cheek (which you should do each and every time you see her).
The second is romantic kissing. The kind your mom and dad do. It's absolutely great and something to look forward to. But you have to be selective with this kind of kissing. Some people can look fine and smooth on the outside but on the inside are dark holes (still redeemable but not kissers...). Know the inside of someone pretty well before kissing them...then it will stay amazing. Never kiss anyone you're uncomfortable with. Also keep your kissing list rather sparse.
2. If you don't know how to work hard you ain't got a thing. Work is the best therapy there is (and that's coming from a counselor). If you're sad--work...if you're hungry--work...work will keep you whole. If you're a lazy bum...quit!
3. You gotta be nice. I would be sad to see any of you doing anything unkind...even to someone acting mean...just try and talk pleasant to them and if it doesn't work--walk away. Be nice to everyone!!!!
4. There is no means under the heavens that we can ever make it without a Savior. I adore Him and worship Him because He provided the way for me. The way to be resurrected, and be around you forever, the way to repent (daily needed by me), and the example of how to try and live. Only He could accomplish that. It's for me, you and everyone who will ever walk the earth.
I love you. Kiss often and right, work hard, be nice, remember Him.
Love Grandma
My grand daughters.
What sweet grandma advice! They are lucky to have you!
ReplyDeleteCan't open the picture of your grand daughters, but I am sure they are equally as adorable as your grandsons :)
ReplyDeleteI'll try again. My comment disappeared:).
ReplyDeleteSweet list, I'll borrow it for my million grandchildren. Yes work is underrated as a therapy that heals the soul and creates a happy life:). Thanks for the words- and be safe😃
