The other day while watching the kids, I noticed Elijah struggling with his golf bag. He was dragging it out to Micaiah's little tricycle. After reaching the trike, he picked up the bag and placed it behind the seat as if it were a golf cart. I walked over and asked him what he was doing. He said, "I'm golfin' dad... can you help me put this on the cart?"
I giggled, bent down and strapped the clubs to the back.
Then Elijah got on the bike, rode a few yards, got off the bike, picked a club and hit the ball. Then, as if he'd done it a million times, he put his club away, got back in the cart and followed that little white ball.

Now I'm not certain but I don't think that he's ever seen that done before. He certainly hasn't seen it on TV since carts are not allowed in the PGA. As Jocelyn and I discussed it later than night, she reminded me that Elijah always talks about Grampa and Papa golfing in heaven with Jesus. She wondered if Papa or Grampa invited Elijah to be the fourth on that beautiful spring day. It made me smile to see so much of his grampas in him.
