"Do you ever just want to stay longer?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

A friend who listens to life with us through our newspaper column recently told me about his daughter visiting him with her two daughters. They’re from out of state so they don’t get to see each other as often as they’d like.

Well, it was Sunday—the day for the granddaughters to return home. They were obviously reluctant to go because they wanted to stay and visit with their grandparents.

Their mother went outside for a walk. My friend, their grandfather, said to the girls, "Let’s lock her out. You want to?" Now remember, he’s talking about his own daughter.

And the girls said, "Yea, that way we can stay longer!"

Now I know Mother’s Day is this weekend, but there’s just something special about grandparents, don’t you think?

Family is such a great gift from God. Be sure to include as a part of your making a life this week taking the time to let all of your family members know how blessed you are to enjoy life with them.
