Christian Grandparenting Blog

Effective parenting and grandparenting demands intentionality. Every day we stand at a crossroads and must choose the path we will walk—the path marked “My Agenda” or the one marked “God’s Agenda”.

Are there storms taking shape on your grandchildren’s horizons, or are they already caught in a torrential downpour? Our grandchildren need our help and support navigating the world in which they live. It’s time we engage our battle plan, utilizing the strongest weapon in our arsenal; it’s time we commit ourselves to stand in the gap, praying daily for our children, grandchildren, and future generations.

According to God's Word, praying for our grandchildren and their parents should be a high priority for grandparents. Therefore, pray that your grandchildren's parents will experience the abundant life Jesus offers and pass it on to their children to follow Jesus.

Every grandparent WILL leave a gift of legacy to their grandkids.  The question is, “What will that legacy be?” The gifts we choose, and our reason for giving them, will help make the determination.

During a time when presents and Santa can dominate conversations it's hard sometimes to make sure we don’t miss out on the true reason we are celebrating Christmas.

Utilize this season to connect with your grandchildren through teaching, crafts, engaging in activities, serving, celebrating together as a family, giving gifts, and reflecting on Christ.

As a grandparent, I have a great responsibility to my own grandchildren, and to the next generation. I am to proclaim to them the glorious deeds of the LORD and the wonders He has done.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving, let us hold fast to the words that Paul wrote to Ephesians. Let us give “thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:20).
