Our grandson Caleb scored a touchdown today in his final seasonal game of flag football. All of the energy displayed by himself and other 7 year olds today was electric. The 30 degree temperatures didn't seem to bother the 22 kids on the field striving to play their very best to an audience of appreciative parents, siblings, grandparents and others braving the unseasonable chill of this mid October morning. What a joy to watch his final game of the season!
Later, we walked 300 yards to the gymnasium where the ambient 70 degree inside temperatures welcomed us to our oldest grandaughter's youth league basketball game. Her third grade skills were impressive as she drove the basket, played very well defensively, and managed to contribute 4 to 6 points for her team's 12 point total.
Every season brings a new dimension to these children that is precious and wondrous. They each have gifts and personalities that reflect the Hand of God on their lives shaping them, directing them, and blessing those of us observing their growth.
It was a day well spent in the company of family contributing to our growing treasure trove of memories that become priceless with age.
