They Call Me Papa!

One of my greatest joys in life is spending time with my grandsons. They call me Papa and they call my wife Mimi. I have always been fond of the name Papa; it is very similar to what the Bible refers to when it uses the phrase Aba Father. Proverbs 17:6 has become one of my favorite verses. It says, “Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.” Blake, the oldest is 5, and Morgan will be 2 on May 5th. We just celebrated Morgan’s birthday on Sunday afternoon. His mom (our oldest daughter) gave him a Thomas The Train party. We also went over Saturday afternoon to spend time with the boys while their mom finished getting ready for the party. I love to get down in the floor with them and let them climb all over me. We have a blast. I have always called Blake my “buddy-boy”. Now he insists that Morgan is my “buddy-boy” too. My wife calls them both “sweet pea.” My youngest daughter that lives about 6 hours away has just found out that she is expecting a girl this summer. We are sooooo excited. She will be our “little princess.” What a wonderful blessing and a delight it is to be able to love on them and influence them as they grow up. God truly is good!
