Grandparents

Story★★★

Someone Once Said ... • I, I beseech you, my venerable friends, try to be of a happy temperament and cheerful spirit, for a child will run away from a surly old man; but there is not a child in the world but loves his grandpapa if he is cheerful and happy.-Charles Spurgeon • Grandparents are meant for kisses and hugs. For watching rainbows and catching bugs. For baking all of your favorite things. For books to read and songs to sing.-Anonymous • The nicest possible place to hear a story is on grandmother’s lap.-Elizabeth Faye • Children’s children are a crown to the aged.-Proverbs 17:6
