What kind of Grandmother will I make?
Will I remember that the world is progressing well past my memories and my abilities and will I allow the grandchildren to express their own views without critcism from me?
Will I be encouraging?
Will I expect the best from my family, looking for the good things and overlooking the bad, just like others have done for me?
Will I express care for each equally and be willing to listen to each in whatever form they choose to communicate, whether it be letter, phone, or blog?
Will I be a godly example in all that I do despite my aches and pains?
Will I be a good listener when needed but never offended when overlooked?
Will I understand that the "busyness" of my children means life and be happy with that?
Will I pass on any knowledge I may have gained in this life in a way that challenges them to learn or will I shame them for not understanding everything?
Will I keep my mind fresh and alert by meditating on God's word and resist the temptation to pay much attention to the humanistic thoughts of the majority of TV programs?
Will I be able to "cast my cares" on the Lord or will I feel like I must burden my family?
If I can claim all this, I will feel my life is fulfilled!
Proverbs 16:31
"The hoary head is a crown of glory, IF it be found in the way of righteousness."
This is my goal!

I agree... you all being great grandparents is something that has never even crossed my mind as being something to worry about or doubt. I am more than comfortable that when the time comes you all will be everything grandparents should be and then some.
