Teach a child

My grandsons love it up here, they get to fish, swim in waterholes, run in wide open spaces, drive through big mud puddles in the ranger...bb guns and bow and arrows, target practice and first kills. How many 6 year olds can say they sit in a deer stand with their grandma? I have another grandchild...I think her name will be Annabella, she's still tucked away in her mama's belly. I say "she" because I really want a pink one. I look so forward to building the kind of relationship with her that I have with my grandboys...I can't wait to buy little girl camo, to teach her the love of fishing and hunting, how to drive the ranger...to show her the awe of fresh laid goose eggs and spotted fawns...to teach her what it means when a killdeer flip flops on the ground...to teach her how to spot a buck scrape, how to bait a bear.  I want to pray with her, teaching her to give God the glory for all these things, for everything we hold dear, everything we enjoy.   I can't wait to set the life example for her that glorifying God and doing unto others makes grandma and grandpa's life full... of love, laughter and adventure...that all great things come from above and that doesn't just mean a secure, appreciative, loyal love...it means happy, fun, excitement and deep down joy...I can't imagine giving my grandchildren a better life gift than that.
