The Not-So-Grand Side of Long Distance Grandparenting
“My two grandsons, who live far away, have no interest in knowing who I am. How do I pray for them and find a way to connect?” The pain behind this grandmother’s question is real and not at all uncommon.

What can we do to build meaningful connections with them?

The word “Messiah” comes from the Hebrew/Aramaic word mashiach, meaning “anointed one” or “chosen one.” Only Jesus, the Son of God, fits the biblical narrative and prophecies for the promised Messiah.
Praying for Your Teenage Grandchild
Grandparents often find it difficult to know how to pray for their teenage grandchildren. Our grandchildren face many confusing and critical cultural is that we didn’t encounter when growing up or raising our children. We often find it hard to relate. We can never understate the power of one’s mind. Consider what the Bible has to say about our minds.
