Psalm 128 - Grandparents Rejoice

The psalmist writes: "May you live to see your children's children." (Ps 128:6)

By the way, did I mention, I'm going to be a "grand-papa" in August (Lord willing)? I'm so excited at the thought that the psalmist's blessing might be addressing me. 

God has blessed me with a desire to "walk in obedience to him" (v. 1) wherever that may lead me.
God has blessed me with "the fruit of my labours" (v. 2), over 26 years of pastoral ministry.
God has blessed me with a wonderful wife and two children I adore (v. 3).
And now, yet another blessing, "to see my children's children" (v. 6).

I want to say, "Today, I give thanks to God for the little things in life", but I can't say that for each of these are awesome, exquisite blessings. 

By the way, did I mention I'm going to be a "grand-papa"?
