Parenting is not a easy task. It is not a calling for the faint-hearted. The tyranny of life necessitates the support of extended families. Our own grown children need our encouragement, our experience, and our active involvement in this most vital endeavor. They also need our availability to help with their young families and our willingness to lift some the burden of child-rearing from their shoulders, whenever possible.
We grandparents can make a difference! And we can accomplish this without undermining our children's role as parents in their own households. In our season of life, we may not to be calling all the shots anymore--but we can still support our grown children from the sidelines!
Dear Lord,
We pray for Your help to be an active model and a living testimony of Your love and forgiveness in the eyes of our grandchildren--and for Your grace to extend to them the same love and forgiveness that we have received from You.
May or grandchildren enjoy a personal relationship with You--not only to hear stories about You, but also to have Your presence abiding in their hearts. May Your blessing be upon them as they continue to mature in our wayward society.
In Your Holy Name,
Amen
