God’s Special Gift

We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10

It’s important that our grandchildren see themselves as valuable and precious. The Christmas season is a good time to share with them what a special gift from God they are to you.

A grandparent’s lap is one place where every small grandchild should feel totally accepted, beautiful, and safe. Compliment your grandchildren. Talk about how God makes each one a unique person. As they get older, they face life’s pressures and often feel inferior because they don’t think they live up to the expectations of others. Talk with them, write notes, and send cards and emails affirming them of your unconditional love and God’s love for them.

Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank you for my grandchildren.
I commit to pray for them regularly and love them unconditionally.
Give me wisdom to encourage them and show them their value as individuals.
Open their eyes to understand Your Word, preparing them to serve You. In Jesus Name.

Share with your friends

We’d like to hear from you…
