Family blessings can come in unexpected ways. We are blessed to live within walking distance of all three of our children, and of all our grandchildren who are still living at home. Granted, that proximity can be challenging at times; as I’ve often said, in relationships, difference plus proximity equals heat. But it also has its advantages; we are able to be involved in our grandchildren’s lives in ways most grandparents never imagine. Today, a family emergency necessitated our having a couple of our grandchildren overnight. We are not only able to keep them, but to get them to school in the morning. Without even having to adjust our own schedules.
It’s truly a blessing when it’s easy to be a blessing.
