Everything Gets Old...

V - Grandma, do you know that popcorn is corn?

Grandma - Well, yes, it's a special kind of corn that is grown to make popcorn.

V- I eat popcorn kernels because it's corn.

G- Oh...be careful I don't want them to break your teeth.

V- I do it all the time, don't worry, it doesn't.

G- It broke mine before

V- That's cause your teeth are old; everything gets old, then dies and goes away.

G- Thanks.

V- It's true Grandma.

This conversation happens to summarize one of my favorite songs, by Casting Crowns.

Who Am I?

.......I am a flower quickly fading,

Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind...

...But you've told me who I am.

I am yours.
I am yours.

So, of course I shared that even when this Grandma gets old, dies and goes away.... she will not really be dead.
