This is how I experienced the onset of mid-life….turning away from the grief of regrets about the past and a feeling that the best part of my life was behind me to the joy of grandchildren. It is wonderful to watch another generation grow up! Each child is precious and unique. At 61, on the verge of the “final frontier” of life on earth, I continue to be delighted with all that they are becoming and doing! They are a gift! But even if I had never had the joy of children and grandchildren, God is good and life is worthwhile. There is an entire generation out there of children who are wonderful and special. And many of them desperately need to hear that they are loved and valuable. Find a place to nurture a child- volunteer at church or a school or the library or anywhere that children are. You will be blessed.
