We spent President's Day out doing unpresidential stuff. First, Princess and the Frog and then a bit of window shopping. I look at this and years from now wonder about Grandma Morgan.
Now that I think about it, Morgan is a very good grandma name. I already can see how she will huddle her little ones together and tell them about her life as a little girl. She will be detailed in telling her tale and will take questions when asked, one at a time. I thought of her and her grandkids today and I hope when they see this, they get a good idea of her character and her capacity to love.
From Grandpa Keaton's point of view, they will see what we all see. Always willing to accept a hug from his sister even in a public place. They will long have known his heart, his gentleness and his love. Definitely his love.
Gage's grandkids will not be surprised that he is not in middle of a sibling love fest. His ability to to love can be overwhelming but is at its best in a one on one basis. When they look at this photo, they will already have experienced his intentness at one of their sleepovers. Or on one of their camping trips.
If you have never thought about your family in an extended fashion, I encourage you to give it a try. It is living in the Moment in a different way. You acknowledge people you will never meet but can love nevertheless. It gets you out of your head and to another Place, deep within yourself. It is a nice time with the freedom to pray for the next generation. A time for every Season and to be able to be apart of it. A time to pray for Love, Wonderment and the Bigger Picture in the freedom that is totally ours...
