Every good thing given and perfect gift is from above (James 1:7).
We picked up our grandchildren today for a few days stay while their parents attend a conference. They live several states away, so our visits are few and far between. But we relish the times we do get to be together and are thankful that we can. I know many grandparents who have their grandchildren living nearby and get to see them often. You are blessed, indeed. As one grandmother puts it, "All of our children and grandchildren live within 2 miles of us so our home is always full of lively, joyful love." So happy for her, but there are also those who don't get to see their grandchildren much at all, or maybe not at all. This is difficult.
Each time we see our sweet ones, they've grown and changed. So, as much as we'd love to see them more, I'm so very thankful that we get to have them visit every now and then. It does a heart good... until they have to leave. <sigh>
