different seasons

So this past weekend my grandpa had a retirement party. He finally retired from Cross Implement after 34 years of combined service with John Deere. This year has been pretty rough for him, he battled pneumonia for about 3 months at the beginning of the year. Then after about 2 months back to work after that, he came down with shingles and couldn't work for another 2 months. So with half the year spent ill at home he finally decided it wasn't worth it. But what an amazing night to see all the people he has touched over the years just by loving his job. One lady made the comment about "George's own special language" I just laughed because it's not just his own but his children have the ability to understand and speak the same language! The example this woman used was one day when Grandpa was on a run he called back in to the office to say he had a flat "tar". Which took about 3 people talking to him on the phone before everyone realized he was not stuck in tar, but in fact had a flat tire. It was great to listen to all the memories of this man that means so much to me.
I remember going to church with them when I would spend the night when I was younger. As a matter of fact I think that's where I got my first good dose of God (or at least what I can remember). And you know all the books I'm reading and everything I listen to cannot compare to what I think my grandpa has nailed on the head. Having a relationship with God is not something hard, it is the simplest thing in the world. I beat myself up some days thinking that I am not deep enough, or I'm not spiritual enough, or I'm not spending enough time praying and meditating. My grandpa goes to church regularly, works because he enjoys it, would help anyone who needed it no matter what, and just spills Godliness. He obviously is not a wordy man with his own language, so Grandpa may not go about preaching his beliefs. But anyone who meets him can tell that this man is a child of God's. Sometimes I think we Americans like to make things way too complicated-when in all actuality simplicity is the key....
