A FATHER’S DAY IDEA

by | Jun 11, 2011 | 0 comments

This year for Father’s Day, send the father of your grandchildren a greeting card with this prayer, in addition to praying this prayer for them yourself.

Dear Heavenly Father,

 

Thank you for the fathers of my grandchildren.
I ask your blessing on them as they train and lead my grandchildren
into a purposeful and meaningful life.
Help them to faithfully teach their children, my grandchildren, Your Word
since it is a “lamp to our feet and a light to our path.”
May they lead them to an acceptance of salvation through Jesus Christ’s sacrificial love.
Help them to model Christ-like love to their children in all of life’s experiences
so my grandchildren will know the path to a blessed life.
Help them to trust in Your wisdom to be the spiritual leader in the home.
Give them a deep desire to have an ever-growing relationship with Christ.

 

In Christ’s name, Amen

Recently, I programmed my phone’s GPS to guide me to a specific location, and somehow I ended up with two AI women giving me directions at the same time. To make things more confusing, they weren’t giving me the same directions. This experience reminds us that many “voices” compete for our grandchildren’s attention. Some voices impart truth; others don’t.

Grandparenting Without Overstepping

Most of us also remember what it felt like when our own parents interfered in our parenting. We didn’t appreciate it then—and our kids won’t now. So how do we stay involved without overstepping?
