Grand daughter's gesture of love!

I watched this grand daughter reaching out to her grand father in  special way. They walked beside each other shoulder to shoulder.

Mr. Abraham whom Anna and I  know for several years now talked about three things that give him fulfilment in his life in the eight decade of his life. Being with his children and grandchildren, sharing with others about the love of God he experienced in his life and praying for those whom he knows.

Mr. Abraham and his late wife Annamma spent most of their serving years in helping to set up children's homes in Maharashtra for children from deprived background.

I felt encouraged by the way his grand daughter showed kindness and affection to give him  sense of value and worth.

I feel that most senior citizens are looking for an affirmation and encouragement that would inspire them to live cheerfully and hopefully!
