~ Jack H. ~ 80th Birthday ~

I have precious grandparents. Both sides. 

Grandparents are a pretty amazing gift from God. So often we take them for granted as "Alright, candy! Alright, an extra $20 on my birthday! etc" And we often don't treasure the gift that they truly are. 

I love sitting back and watching my grandparents interact with others and each other. They will have been married 60 years come this June! Wow! I praise and thank God for that. What an example! I see their love for one another and it's worth imitating. 

I ALSO love sitting back and listening to all their stories! Funny, emotional, or the ones where they learned something.....and want to pass it onto you so you don't do the same thing. I was privileged to get to be at my Grandpa's 80th birthday this past March. My husband and I sang, all the cousins visited, and good food was to be had (Thanks to Grandpa Jack and Grandma Jo for that! SO generous!). 

My mother was her usual self..... she made everything look flawless. Bringing some spring and sunshine into the room where we were celebrating life! 

So, what I said about grandparents, yea it can definitely apply to parents as well. So, maybe, just maaaaaybe I am a bit biased....but the truth is the truth, I have basically the best parents there ever was. :D I can't believe how amazing they are! I can't imagine having...let alone wanting anyone else to be my parents. 

Because of Jesus
