The Crown of the Aged

September 24, 2013 By Leave a Comment

I am the grateful recipient of the Biblical blessing:  “May you see your children’s children!” (Psalm 128:6).  I can also relate to this text:   “Grandchildren are the crown of the aged” (Proverbs 17:6).  I now have eight of those crowns, with the birth of Michael Gustavus Moerbe. I will spare you the usual grandparents’ deluge of pictures, but I have posted one after the jump.

Here is young Michael Gustavus with one of his big sisters.
