Visit - by Craig

I tend to visit Grandpa and Grandma (Mom and Dad to me) on Sundays. Dad is often just coming in from, or just heading off to, a meeting relating to his preparedness calling in the church. Mom always tells me about her day at church. They may not realize it, but their example is very powerful. I appreciate it more than words can say. Being a disciple of Christ is not an easy road to travel. It helps me, personally, to have them ahead of me on the path, not sitting on the sidelines, on vacation. A lot of people figure that at some point in life, they've done enough and they can just coast. (Ane maybe they have, and maybe it's alright for them, I can't judge). As for myself, I don't intend to to that, but intention alone isn't enough. I have the example of my parents, who are still in the harness, pulling, in their eighties. Having been shown their example, I intend to follow in their path. God bless them for their good example and for their leadership on this trek through life.
