Christian Grandparenting Blog

Being a Christian grandparent is not just about passing on traditions; it's about imparting a legacy of faith that will impact generations to come. Here are three essential keys to being the Christian grandparent your grandkids need:

What’s the buzz about Grandparents Day of Prayer? In this blog, we’ll talk not only about the history of Grandparents Day of Prayer and its importance but also offer simple-to-use ideas for you to host a prayer event.

The basic definition of prayer is “talking to God” and is the communication of our soul with the Lord who created us. God’s promise to hear and answer our prayers is woven throughout the Bible. We can be assured that his answers are always for our good and in line with his will.

It is vital to our faith to pass on Christian values to the next generation, even as a long distant grandparent. Without a firm foundation provided by loving elders, many young people today find themselves struggling to know exactly what they do believe. You can be a grandparent who has a huge generational impact for eternity.

Summer is passing quickly. We have now reached the midpoint of summer. If we want to do something special and intentional with our grandchildren this summer, the time is now. Here are some suggestions for creating mid-summer memories.

Charles Spurgeon, a powerful Christian preacher in the mid-1800’s, once wrote, “The sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which the child of God rests his head.” We may assume something is wrong when we face trials or experience pain. Rest easy. Even though we don’t always understand His ways, we are safe with the God.

The core needs of our military families are no different than those of our non-military families.  All families need security and stability. The members of our armed forces AND their families sacrifice both to protect our freedom. Military families with a strong support system handle subsequent moves, deployments and fear of the unknown better than those without support. This is where grandparents have the opportunity to step in and lend a helping hand.

No matter what people told me, it wasn’t until I actually became a grandfather that I appreciated the joy it brings. Grandparenting is a sacred calling. As a Chrisitian grandfather, you will demonstrate the love of our heavenly father to your grandchildren.
