A young woman was absolutely overjoyed when one of her favorite people in the world entered the room: her grandmother. 

Sadly, a fair amount of people believe that acquiring more money and material possessions is the key to achieving happiness in life. If they just had a bigger house, a better car or received a bump in pay at work, all would be good with the world, the thinking goes. Unfortunately, that’s rarely, if ever, the case. 

A clip posted on Instagram shows a person who is over-the-moon happy, and it has nothing to do with money or having a huge house or a fine, expensive car. Instead, the toddler is thrilled to see her grandmother walk into the room. Her cute, moving and heartwarming reaction helps to put into perspective what truly matters in life: family.

As the video begins, the little lady is standing near and holding herself up with a table while someone films the child. But seconds into the clip, the toddler hears a commotion behind her that causes her to turn her head. After recognizing who was the source of the noise, the child completely turns around and heads in that direction.

She turns away from the table and takes two steps toward a piece of furniture. As she does so, the young woman squeals with delight. A massive smile comes over her face. She literally cannot contain her joy at seeing her grandmother. 

The little girl, once again, starts shrieking excitedly, throwing her tiny arms up into the air as she does so. She cannot get to her grandmother fast enough. 

What a sweet, beautiful and loving reaction! The child’s reaction is one that every grandparent and parent would love to get from their precious child every time they enter the room. 

That little girl clearly loves her grandmother, and it shows.

Proverbs 17:6 “Children’s children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers.”
