THE CHILDHOOD OF JESUS

by | Dec 29, 2008 | 0 comments

We have just finished celebrating the birth of Jesus. Now as we are putting our decorations and tree trimmings away it is a good time to think about his childhood?
After his birth, we read about Mary and Joseph taking Jesus to the temple as required by the Law of the Lord and returned to their town of Nazareth.

“And the child grew and became strong;
he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.”
Luke 2:39, 40.

He grew and matured just like our grandchildren. He went to school, played with his friends, and did his chores around the house as our grandchildren. I would like to think his grandparents enjoyed watching him play and mature just as we enjoy our grandchildren.

Pray that your grandchildren will grow and become strong physically, filled with wisdom, and the grace of God will be upon them, like Jesus.

To make things more confusing, they weren’t giving me the same directions. This experience reminds us that many “voices” compete for our grandchildren’s attention. Some voices impart truth; others don’t.

Grandparenting Without Overstepping

Most of us also remember what it felt like when our own parents interfered in our parenting. We didn’t appreciate it then—and our kids won’t now. So how do we stay involved without overstepping?
