Long Distant Grandparenting

by | Mar 20, 2010 | 0 comments

Today, frequently grandparents do not live near their grandchildren to feel a part of their lives. Technology provides affordable ways for grandparents to communicate with their loved ones but they have to be deliberate to maintain meaningful relationships. However, when we pray regularly and intentionally for them, we feel an involvement in their lives even though we do not live near them.

Let’s agree with Samuel in his last message to the Israelites in I Samuel 12:23.

“As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord

by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right.”
