“Grandparents Know…”

The same God who rolled the stone away is the God watching over our grandchildren. The same Savior who conquered the grave is the one guiding their future. Grandparents know we are to set the right example (Matthew 5:13-16) and teach our grandchildren (II Timothy 1:5; II Timothy 3:14,15; Titus 2:1-8). Grandparents know that we need to pray for our grandchildren (James 5:16). Grandparents know that our grandchildren aren’t perfect (Romans 3:23) and neither are we. It is my prayer that I could be half the grandparent my grandparents were to me. I hope that my grandchildren know that I love them and would do anything for them.

It is my continued prayer that our grandchildren would be faithful to God (Revelation 2:10) and that they would always put the church first (Matthew 6:33). So many in this world today fail to keep God in the center of their lives and the center of their homes (Psalm 127:1). Jesus must be first place in our hearts and our lives (Colossians 1:18). What can we do, as grandparents, to encourage our grandchildren. I am sorry for my many mistakes and I pray for our grandchildren to follow the Book of books and the Lord of lords. If you need us, you have our number. Please don’t hesitate to call day or night! Better yet, come by and see us. We will cook you something. If you only knew how much your presence is the greatest present you could give to us. I wish I could visit my grandparents and parents one more time. Grandchildren know that we love you. Have a blessed day, Papa (Tim)
