how to shave…
Noticing facial hair on his face, our 15 year old grandson turned to his PopPop for instruction.
Realizing the honor and blessing that Jared wants to share a milestone in his life with him, John gathered together a new razor, shave cream and after shave and the two of them headed to the bathroom
where they lathered up and began
instructions included stern advice about sliding the razor sideways and how (in guy talk) it would make hamburger of his face. If that should happen, he showed him his handy-dandy styptic pencil
men stuff continued
then the inevitable… a nick
some repair and an inspection
rinsing…drying
finishing with good smelling stuff
then it was off to home depot
their relationship is a gift
Oh, that we would continually use our gifts to influence our grandchildren on things eternal
Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.
Deuteronomy 4:9
Such a dear, sweet post! These are wonderful, treasured memories for both.

Beautiful moment! God bless
What a precious relationship! I was amazed they would allow you to chronicle the journey and share it with us. I thought of the Scripture about the older teaching the younger – this is a perfect example.

taht is so sweet!!! love the pictures!!
This is such a special post, I don't think there are many teenagers that will let their grandmas post about their first time shaving!
I really hope our one grandson is still close to Grandpa when he is ready to shave, he's only 5 1/2 but follows Larry everywhere. He 'complains' but I know he loves having his shadow. Our older grandsons are too far away, (one is 16 and already shaving, they are a few provinces away) so it's wonderful to have a few that are closer.

What a beautiful post! I love that he let you take photos of it while he was learning – he must love his grandma as much as his grandpa!
Thanks Lorraine for the congratulations on my new granddaughter. What a sweet post. It must make your heart melt to see your husband and grandson so close. I love the verse you shared with this, a great one for grandparents. ~ Abby
A high honor for your husband, and your grandson will never forget this. Probably a tale that will pass on through the generations!
It is so amazing to watch children grow. They start off so small and with a blink of an eye, they are so grown up.
Oh my …how cute is this? I loved reading this post. There's such a sweetness about it even though it's a male thing. Loved it …
Blessings and love,
Debbie
Has to be one of my favorite posts on your blog! I had tears running down my cheeks and a big smile on my face! Loved this!!!
Wow, so nice the younger generation is willing to share and learn from the older germination. What a wonderful memory your husband and grandson will have. A really special post. Have a great week, Laura
I can only imagine the fun this was for you to photograph.
Awesome memories captured
Can't tell you how much I LOVED this post! Such a sweet memory for them both! And the scripture is just perfect as well. I am over here grinning from ear to ear. Hope you enjoyed your day!
I loved reading through this! What a bond they must share! 🙂

I love this sweet post! You can tell by the smile on your Grandson's face, that he will always remember this day. =)
Fantastic! and what a mature young man to allow his Grandma to take all those photos 🙂
