Today I am thankful for my grandpa.
It is his birthday! I remember when I was little he read the book the Old Turtle to us by Douglas Wood. I am not sure why this sticks out so much in my mind, but I love turtles and so when I found a copy of the Old Turtle at a thrift store, I bought. After reading it, I know why it has stuck with me and why my grandpa shared it with his grandchildren. Wood captures God's love and peace for all the world and everything in it so beautifully in this book. He also reminds us that we have challenges in this world as well like war, arguments, famine, and lack of understanding.
Here is one of my favorite lines...
"...the people listened, and began to hear and see God in one another and in the beauty of the earth."
Thanks Gpa!
