My Grandpa and I are very close. I consider it such a huge blessing to have him related to me - as my Grandpa...but also as a friend.
He turned 90 last November. He has been through so much in his lifetime.
His story is amazing!! And I've been thinking of writing a post on him soon...maybe I should, one of these days.
Anyway, I recently had an idea of writing down questions for my Grandpa to answer (at his leisure). Just random questions about him and his life and what he thinks about certain things, etc.
One of the questions I asked him was 'What are some of your favorite verses?'
He answered with about 50. :)
But one of them really stuck out to me...and I thought I'd share it with you today.
Though the fig tree should not blossom and there be no fruit on the vines,
Though the yield of the olive should fail and the fields produce no food,
Though the flock should be cut off from the fold and there be no cattle in the stalls,
Yet I will exult in the LORD.
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
The LORD God is my strength, and He has made my feet like hinds' feet, and makes me walk on my high places.
{Habakkuk 3:17-19}

You should definitely do the interview! I would love to hear what he has to say. =D
What a great verse.
It must be a huge blessing to be close to one of your grandparents. My last grandparent passed away last January. I never had the chance to get to know any of them.
I also like your last post. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!

I love that verse. :) I love it especially since reading the last book in the "Seasons of the Heart" series by Janette Oke. It really brought that verse to life. :)

My grandpa passed away on Christmas this year, and it really reminded me to enjoy every second we have with our loved ones.
