Kindness Fridays

Today’s kindness takes yet another turn: I simply cannot not write about our grandson, Lucas.

Lucas came into our world on May 11th, 2017. His parents were already a blessing in our lives and when their family increased by one, the blessings increased exponentially.

He just turned twelve weeks old and let me tell you, his personality is coming through very clearly.

If you’re me, you talk a lot.

If you’re my grandson Lucas, you’re subjected to all that talking.

Just as is the case with every human being out there, when he’s had his fill of my jabbering, he’ll let me know that his Grandma Olson talking threshold has been reached – for the time being – but before that happens, he gifts me with smiles and conversation to beat the band.

What a reward it is to have an impact on a young person’s life and when that young person is now able to gift others with smiles, funny faces, and “language”, my oh my, that’s a gift of kindness of greater value than all the riches in the world.
