Today’s journey is all about family, at least as it begins.  It is 6:00 am and I returned 30 minutes ago from taking my daughter and two grandkids to the airport to return to Oklahoma City after being here a week helping with the newest member of our family.  Little Ivy is very sweet but she is still only one week old today and mom has her hands full.  I want to be helpful, but in a supportive way.

All of our kids and grandkids were together for several hours yesterday.  It was so nice to have this happen.  We even got a picture of the 12 grandkids with us.  That is such a treat.  I pray for each of them during my devotional time.  I have to release what I want to have happen for each of them knowing my role as grandpa is not to be the parent and certainly not to be their god.  I want to model a Godly life for them and leave it there.  I catch myself worrying and then I start all over reminding myself of my role to my kids and to my grandkids.

God has been teaching me a great deal about Himself and myself in my most recent journey days.  Being a good student never goes away.  If I am going to be a good model for God, I need to have been a good student and continue to be one.  That is truly a “one day at a time” item.  To God be the Glory!
