Grandparenting has a push-me-pull-you quality this time of year that some younger generation they envy. If you officially now the oldest generation, there are the memories of long ago, some nostalgia watching old movies, maybe a sigh as you unpack the last of the Christmas ornaments off your growing-up tree.
And there is the excitement of the newest generation - the true faith in presents that appear magically, the real pain of waiting for the big day.
In between are our kids - we watch them maneuver through the parenting years and juggle it all as we did. And now we don't. We watch more than do.Tears, smiles, laughter, sighs, memories. Let them all come and fully be present in whatever place you are in.
May the hope, peace, joy and love of a new baby in Bethlehem be yours this Christmas.
