This week, my hsuband and I are tending our two grandsons while our son and his bride go on a honeymoon. A five-year-old and an almost eight- year-old have boundless energy, insatiable curiosity, and the ability to reduce me to a more than usual doting grandma. Being a grandmother is a heady experience. It is also a humbling one, as I tend these sweet children placed briefly in my care.
Being a grandmother is also exhausting. Did you know that energy is a phenomenon of inverse proportion? The more energy the boys have, the less I have.
I accept that.
It also reminds me why the Father counseled that we have children while we're young.
This I know for sure: a sixty-year-old body was not mean to keep up with those of five and eight-year-olds!
What about your 29-year-old body? ;)
