A Day in the Park

We spent the day at Borden Park with our son Edwin, his wife Tina and the three grandkids, Katiara (4) Connor (3) and Natasha (1). We had a wonderful time playing on the swings and the slide, wading in the pool and, of course, taking pictures. A sweet old lady followed us across the park and recited a poem to us about the blessings of childhood. There was one misshap when a whole swarm of wasps came up through a sewer cover and one of them stung Connor on the forehead. That upset him for a time but he soon recovered and went back to playing and enjoying himself. We stayed until a thunderstorm chased us back to their place.

Psalms 127:3-5

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
