welfare of that tiny infant. Why would The Gracious Mistress of the 
Parsonage be so preoccupied with her if nothing was wrong? 

When lunchtime arrived, I made my lunch. There's nothing better than a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch and a hot cup of coffee. So 
I returned to my desk after lunch to pick up on my work. 

I paused and listened for a while after lunch, but there was only
silence. I was starting to worry a little bit. Was the 
great-granddaughter ill, or did the great-grandmother get into some 
accident returning home? 

Where is The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage? 

Then I heard her drive into the driveway, exit the car, and enter the
house. Then, I asked, "Is the great-granddaughter having any problems?" 


"Oh, the great-granddaughter is doing great," she said, beaming one of
those smiles in my direction. "I spent the entire day with her and had 
a great time." 

She then began a series of stories about herself and her
great-granddaughter, giggling while she told me various details about 
that young baby. 

After a few weeks, whenever I ask myself, "Where is The Gracious
Mistress of the Parsonage?" I only have to think about that 
great-granddaughter. That's where she is. 

I believe Solomon in the Old Testament had it right when he said,
“Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of 
children are their fathers.”  (Proverbs 17:6). 

Children are truly a blessing from God. But grandchildren and
great-grandchildren are beyond blessing. It is God's reward He gives to 
those faithful parents.
