A Grandparents Blessing

by | May 22, 2007 | 0 comments

For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring …  (Isaiah 44:3)

A grandparent’s blessing is a special event for a child.  More than just empty words, a real spiritual blessing can be a powerful milestone in a child’s religious development.  Nothing brings the generations together in unity like a formal blessing from one generation to the next.

 

If you visit the CGN resource section, you will find our guide to Blessing Your Grandchildren, a guide to writing a blessing for your grandchild that will truly lodge in his or her young heart, along with many examples of excellent blessings written by CGN friends and partners.

We think that blessing your grandchildren is so important that CGN is offering a special service.  Write up your blessing using Microsoft Word or a text editor, and e-mail it to Cavin Harper along with your postal address.  CGN will print your blessing on beautiful parchment paper, suitable for framing, and send it back to you.  You can frame and hang your blessing in your home, in your grandchild’s room, in the family room, or wherever it can serve as a permanent reminder of the love and support that your grandchildren can always count on!

We’d like to hear from you…

Some voices impart truth; others don’t.

The Bread That Lasts Forever

Bread baking is one of my favorite pastimes. It began when my mother first introduced me to the art of yeasted breadmaking. Back then, I had to climb up onto a chair to reach the counter. I loved standing there with my mother’s arms wrapped around me while she pressed...
