A Promise to Hold to when Facing Chaos

Today with so much of our world experiencing chaos - whether from

fire, weather, politics, covid, or any other thing happening in our lives, I want to share a promise with you from God in regards to our descendants. What better way is there to face chaos than being reminded of God's promises and love for our children and grandchildren.

How to Hand Down Confident Faith

As grandmas (and grandpas, too) who want to see the children God has entrusted to us make the choice to love, know, and walk with Him, we know we need to be involved on purpose with them and focused upon handing down confident faith. But, we may not always know how to do this. Well, take heart! God tells us exactly what He wants us to do! Look at these verses in Deuteronomy 6 -

God tells us to . . . 

Pray for Their Hearts

While there certainly are many things we pray  about for our grown  children and grandchildren, praying for the condition of their hearts and their relationship with God are certainly two of the most important things.  Some of my favorite verses are found in Jeremiah 24:6, 7 - 

Grandchildren - Gifts from God

Grandchildren are such a gift - one which continues to give throughout our lives as we experience life with them, and the remember these times. Whether it is their simple response of, "I love you, too, grandma, with all my heart!" when we tell them we love them, or when an older grandchild makes time to visit with an aging grandparent - they are a unique, wonderful, and enduring treasure. So, today I thought it would be fun to share some quotes about grandchildren . . . 

Remember the Blessings & Pray for Those Experiencing Tragedies

This past week - and for quite a few weeks before - we as a country

have been experiencing and watching tragedies with the fires out west and the hurricane down south. So many people have had their lives torn apart - and have lost all their belongings . . . and some have lost loved ones as well. I remember two years ago with the Carr fire how my friends and family experienced this massive, horrible fire. Even though, as David Jeremiah said, our tragedies are vastly outnumbered by blessings, when we go through the tragedies, it is most certainly a difficult time for us and for the ones we love - and for people we do not know as well.

Don't Stop Telling Them

 How has God worked in your life? In what ways has He answered your prayers? When have you experienced, or gone through a difficult time and were able to know God was with you all the way? What has your own walk with God looked like?

These are important, even essential things for you to share with, tell and teach your grandchildren. They need to hear and know the accounts of how God has shown Himself to be real in your life. They need to hear and know the accounts of how and why you made the choice to walk with God. If you do not tell them, how will they know these things?

Make Sure Your Grandchildren Know What Prayer Is All About

As grandmas - and grandpas, too - we know prayer makes a

difference. While there are many truths we need to be intentional about handing down to our grandchildren, this is one essential truth, and we need to be sure our grandchildren know it.
