My husband and I were recently traveling in the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas enjoying the beauty of the autumn season with the gorgeous gold and red leaves. As I was admiring the bright colors of the leaves, I was reminded as grandparents we are in the autumn season of life.

During the autumn season of our lives, God gives grandparents the special gift of grandparenting. Along with that precious grandchild, God gives us a sacred trust, an opportunity to imprint a child’s life with God’s faithfulness.

Autumn leaves turn vibrant colors before the winter season sets in. I asked myself does my life reflect a vibrant, godly life to my grandchildren in this season of my life. Do they see me as a contended, grateful, praying grandparent walking with God?

Do you reflect a vibrant godly life in your autumn season?

Lord, help me to reflect the vibrant beauty of a godly life to my dear grandchildren. In Jesus name.

While living in uncertain times, as intercessors for our grandchildren, we must be vigilant and faithful. We are living in a godless society that requires godly grandparenting.
