Today my second oldest grandson is graduating from barber college. He had an interview yesterday afternoon which he said went very well. He’s been cutting my hair for the past 6-7 months while in school. It is fun to see him moving into his adult years. In a few hours we will get to watch this event take place.

When I am counseling folks I often remind them to take a step back from what they are dealing with and look at the situation as though it belonged to someone else. In so doing, what would you advise them to do with it? Today, I get to take a step back from this grandson’s life. He has been a very close grandson having lived with us his earliest years. It is a joy to experience how God is developing him more and more.

Life always has much drama in it. Yet, if we just take a step away and look at it from that balcony view, we get to see a perspective that better resembles how God sees you and me. I want to live one day at a time, and I can better do that when I remember Who is always watching and interceding for us. How good God is!
