Grandparents

Proverbs 17:6

6 Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

The other day I was thinking about how my dad spoils my kids. Then I set with him and watched as he lit up watching my brothers chase after their children. There was a sense of pride in his eyes. Then I realized why he had a right to spoil his grandkids. He had raised his sons to be good men in God. You see, we as parents get mad at the grandparents because they spoil our children, but if they are spoiling them that means they are not raising them. That means they did what the Bible taught them to do. Raise men and women. That means that they know they did their job and they can relax and do what our own grandparents did, spoil us. So stop getting mad when your parents spoil your children and thank God for the people who raised you because they did a good job.
