Back in the days when hair color was only evolving, those that have gray hair was without much choice about color except a rinse that kept their gray hair from turning yellow. So my Grandma used this purple rinse every now and then that turned her hair a great shade of violet. I loved it. Especially when she'd wear a violet-colored dress to church and violet smelling cologne, it was obviously a sight and smell to behold! What a memory!
Some of my close friends are Grandmas and they are generally giving me lasting memories, too. One of them isn't taking grandma-hood prone. She wears bright, colorful clothes which might be teal and pink. She runs in marathons, swims, exercises daily at the gym, water skis, and works 12-hour days as a nurse. She's amazing! She's expecting to retire next January and I don't believe she'll as it. She'll either have to get a part-time job or stay on the treadmill for a longer period of time simply to get her energy out!
So what memories have you been making that your kids and grandkids will remember? Are you taking them out for special lunches or picnics and playing silly games? Are you hiding their PJs inside freezer after they arrive at spend the night time? Is there a silly voice you need to do simply for them? Are bandarq teaching these phones play funny instruments like Boom Whackers? Those sorts of fun things stick in a kid's head long afterwards you're gone.
The part I'm taking seriously inside my grandmother-hood is making sure my grandkids know I love the Lord wonderful my heart and look to serve Him daily. They see me reading my Bible in the home with my devotional book. We do devotions together in the evening before we hit the sack. They see another Bible by my bed that I read if I awaken inside the night and can't sleep, and they also hear Christian music after they arrived at visit me. We let down the TV sometimes and talk. Now there is a new idea! I don't allow iPods or MP3 players switched on in the car and we all can talk there, too. It's amazing how much scenery they miss and what conversation lapses with headphones stuck within their heads.
You're their grandparent! God placed you inside their lives for a specific purpose. Make it count for Christ and meet their needs! And one more thing...love their socks off!
