Sunday was Joshua's birthday.
We had a family gathering at our house to celebrate, and while I was busy getting things ready in the kitchen Brian came in and asked for the camera. Honestly, I was a bit surprised by his request, as he isn't usually the one going around snapping pictures. But I told him where it was, and got back to my task.
Moments later, he came back into the kitchen and showed me this treasure.
That's my 95-year-old grandmother, surrounded by my children, my niece, and Elizabeth's beau. She was telling them about her life as a kid - about the differences between then and now. (I think she was throwing some stuff in there about not getting too over-loaded with electronics...) And they were hanging on her every word.
Or at least they were listening politely.
The main thing is, these kids were giving her their undivided attention, and
she was loving it.
Who needs your undivided attention today? What a blessing we give when we just listen!
