A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

on
As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow.

Don't let one set back get you down...

Disappointment comes with living
The alternative is fail to try
Simply do your best each time
Then, don't question why
If you know that could have done more
Next time, even the score

Nobody wins every battle,
But know this isn't a war
Continue to believe in God
You wanted this, but He promises more

We all have different journeys
Your intended blessings always come to you
So don't you fret too much child
One contest doesn't determine your value

Hubris is dangerous to catch
It makes you feel invincible
Sometimes God withholds things from us
To remind us of the true principle

He can provide for ALL your needs
According to His riches in glory
Do not let one "loss"
Keep you from remembering the story

You can't always get what you want
But each time you get what you need
So continue to try and be confident
Know that you will ultimately succeed

On your journey you will encounter trials
Indeed you will experience strife
But learn to rejoice in the victories and setbacks
Because my dear, this is called life.
