Kindness. Both my grandpa's are very kind. Gramps will plop down five bucks for ice cream cone any day of the week, he'll give you control of the remote, and help you mow your lawn! Papa is a wonderful host! When you visit he'll take you on boat rides, out to dinner, and let you use his computer.
Loving. One time, a long time ago, Gramps took my siblings and me to a movie. He bought us candy, and popcorn, and drinks! We got into the theater, and the movie started. Five minutes into the movie the lead started cussing and got into a fight, and Gramps leaned down and said "we don't want to watch this movie." So we left. Five minutes into the movie! Tickets and snacks for four little children are not cheap! But Gramps didn't care about getting his money's worth, he cared about his grandchildren, our minds, our hearts, and our innocence. That's love!
Papa is very loving too! Almost every time I go over to his house he sits down to breakfast with me and Bekah, with a bible in his hand and he reads scripture to us! Papa wakes up at two or four o clock in the mornign and he prays for his grandchildren! Every single one of us! Papa cares about us too, he cares about our souls and where we'll spend our eternity, he wants us to know the Son as he does. That's love!
Hilarious! If Gramps doesn't have a joke to share or something funny to say! he's probably sleeping. Just today he came in and was talking to us, somehow we got on the subject of dogs, and Gramps says "yeah we had a dog once with really good hearing... (the pause is more important than the punch line) She would fart and turn around and bark at it!" we all laughed really hard, cause Gramps is just funny that way! Papa is really funny just because it's a part of his personality, he's always making up songs, making faces, and making up words like "yell to ped-eh-stree-anse" (Yield to pedestrian)s "turn right at lake jack-ah-mo." (turn right at lake Jackomo) "flight to indiana-Poe-lis" (flight to Indianapolis) . He is really funny!
Outstanding! I love both my grandpa's! They are both wonderful respectable men! Both personable and hard working men always trying to make someone smile. I love both my grandfathers and have been blessed immensely with them!
Thank you Lord for blessing me with such wonderful Grand fathers! Amen.
