"I REALLY LOVE YOU, POP!"

Trinity Lynn, our three-year-old granddaughter and her brother, six-year-old Levi, spent last night at our house.

(Kayla and her mother were hosting an all night "Chick Night" for several missionary ladies in Swaziland--bet they didn't sleep much.)

Before Trinity and Levi went to bed they each came to me at different times and said, "I really love you, Pop!" and gave me a big tight hug.

Do you know what that did to me?

Those moments were second only to the first time Jean said, "I love you."

Our grandchildren Kayla, Levi, and Trinity have lived most of their lives in Africa where the risks are higher and so are the joys. Experiences I used to dream about as a child are commonplace to them.

We are a blessed family.
