Lot 274 Cell: 847 445 - 0077 THE POWER OF GRANDPARENTS AS WE BEGIN A NEW YEAR

All ladies interested in meeting and sharing their love for our Lord with some amazing women are invited to join us! We will begin a series on January 13. We will be studying John I, II, and III, a study prepared by K ELLY M INTER , titled, "What Love Is."

God, in His infinite wisdom, has given every baby six adults in their lives: four grandparents and two parents. That is a rich heritage to draw on as a child and to mature as an adult. Grandparenting in our 21st Century culture has become a real challenge. Some are surrogate parents; some cannot even have visitation rights due to divorce and custody issues; often both parents are working; often Grandparents become the preferred form of daycare. It is hard to believe what is and has taken place in our world. J IMMY C ARTER declared the first Sunday in September after Labor Day as Grandparents Day in the US. Reason for the month? It is the autumn of the calendar year and reminds us of the autumn period of our lives. Today there are more grandparents than grandkids due to small birthrate among young marrieds. Grandparent power reminds us we have a huge influence in the lives of our grandkids. They believe old people are wise and often easy to talk with. Comments of 95 year olds who were asked : If you could do life over again what would you do? What was the question again? Reflect on life more. Risk more. Leave a legacy of impact. What do we choose to leave our grandkids ? Legacy is something that will last; impact is something that will change the world. Here are some of my agenda items. Pray for my grandkids and tell them I am doing so. Love them unconditionally while teaching them right and wrong which requires some one - on - one time with each grandchild. Be a role model of values and morals. Let my grandkids know of my love for Jesus Christ and pray they become His followers. Take them to or encourage my grandkids to attend church. Here is some advice for our grandkids to learn and apply: Honor grandparents. Remember us and our love for them. Contact us and let us in on their lives and how we may be of help. Include us in some activities and for sure visit us occasionally when we are old. Ours is the task of standing in the gap for our grandchildren. Loving, caring, nurturing and spending time with them. Let them see Jesus in our lives in such a manner that they are drawn to Him. Here is practical advice from Moses written in Deuteronomy 4:9: Be careful, watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen, or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.
