Linda and I had the privilege of babysitting three little children today; a four-year old boy, his two-year old sister, and one-year old brother. The littlest one is pretty sedate; he is content in his walker; if you didn't see him, you wouldn't know he was there. The two-year old is a perpetual motion machine. As her father said to me this morning, "I've looked for an off switch, but can't find it." She is cheerful and fun, as is the four-year old, who is all boy, ready to wrestle and engage in anything physical. We had a delightful time, but at the end of the day, we are grateful that we had our children when we were in our twenties. We had a lot more energy then.
That being said, being able to bless the parents of these children, who are busy caring for their little daughter as she is at Children's Hospital fighting off an infection, is a great joy to us. Linda is already asleep, and I am betting we both will snooze soundly tonight.
