It is easy for our grandchildren to get lost in this world of ever-competing messages. They might be frightened by what they hear, see, and feel.

Let’s not limit our scope to church programs. Why not think about equipping the members of our churches for their most crucial relationships in everyday life?

What we teach our children and grandchildren about God now will impact their eternity — and also what they, in turn, then leave behind or pass on to their children. We are called to leave a spiritual impact on our families to be handed down.

With our busy lives, how is it even possible to screen everything, to decipher intent, or discern underlying agendas? How can we remain alert?

As we continue to think of ways to be purposeful in our grandparenting, prayer is one of the most important things we want to do with intentionality and consistency.

Let’s be remembered as grandparents who prayed unceasing, purposeful, heartfelt prayers that accomplished much.

I have always heard that our prayer life is one of the most vital parts of this life we enjoy with the Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, prayer is one of the authenticating ‘birthmarks’ of a Christian in love with the Savior.

We can’t be perfect, but by seeking to reflect God’s love into our grandkids’ lives, we can be good parents and grandparents. And we can point our grandchildren to their perfect Heavenly Father.
