As I got into yesterday’s work I wanted to get accomplished, I was met with more frustration.  I went to my daughter’s home to mow with my grandson to have it start raining just as I arrived.  I told my grandson I’d be back after lunch and headed back home to plant the garden.  I got the rototilling done and was ready to plant but my garden rake was gone.  My oldest grandson had taken it to use at a friend’s house and hadn’t returned it.  I did get the planting done, got the lawn mowed in the afternoon and made it to the party late in the afternoon but still on time.

Today as I was journaling, I thanked God for His help–leadership yesterday.  He said that my grandson needed someone to show him how to tackle an overwhelming project–a lawn 18″ tall and get it mowed.  That is what I had done with him.  I was also needing someone to help me take the steps I needed to take so I could get what I wanted done too.  That is what God did for me.  He said that I had modeled for my grandson what He had modeled for me.  That was a big awakening because that is just what happened.  My grandson said as we finished the mowing that he really loved me.  He had waited too long and didn’t think he could do it.  He said, “Grandpa, you are not only smart, you are a great grandpa.”  Well, that was enough for me!

Today, I told God He was a great Father and I love Him!
