Little Trips equal Big Rewards

Sunday after Sacrament Meeting, Harley had to take the truck to pick up some furniture he bought up in Bountiful. His plan was to just go up, stay with Sarah and the kids, pick the stuff up Monday a.m. and then shoot right back home. I couldn't bear the thought of him seeing Sarah and the kids and leaving me at home. So----I went along. I always love to see them. Abbie is always saying that she wants her Gamma. Well she got her for a few hours. It doesn't matter how long they have lived there and how many times I go there, the good-byes are horrible for me. I hate to leave them and I always wish they lived closer at least. I love my family. I have a hard time understanding those grandparents that are so indifferent toward their grandkids. There are so many in this world that show very little interest in their kids or grandkids. Their feelings are that they did their part in raising their kids in that brief eighteen years and now it is THEIR time. The point is--We did NOT commit to Father in Heaven to be there for his children for only 18 years. It is a lifelong committment. He is there for us and we should be there for them. I know this with all my heart. It is worth it. When that little Abbie or McKay or any of my grandkids run up to me and squeeze my leg or put their arm around my neck, or gives me a slobbery kiss, I know I am where I should be. I LOVE YOU --Kids or Grandkids-- with all my heart. I am so blessed to have this experience. Thank you!
