All in Good Time

The adage “all in good time” came to mind when author Martha J. Biery was caring for her young grandson. The grandson said he wished he was big enough to play basketball with the older boys. She commented that you can’t rush time –it moves at its own pace. When the grandson looked puzzled, she suggested that she show him what she meant. Using concrete examples she made her point. Her motivation, on the surface, was to help her grandson accept the pace of growing up. But, she has her own hidden agenda: to stretch out the pleasure of being with him and savor those experiences for as long as she can!
