Devotion

Grandpa and Grandma
I will be your God throughout your lifetime---until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you. ---Isaiah 46:4

Happy Grandparents' Day to all parents who have been graciously crowned with the blessed honor! What a privilege and a gift it is to be able to swaddle, run behind, and have fun with your grandkids...and then send them back home with your grown children! LOL! Just kidding (maybe)? But in all seriousness, how humbling and spiritually awakening it is to be blessed with the lives of the next generation in your family tree, and to be able to sow and invest into those lives with your presence, your love, your experiences, and your guidance. We know that for some people the traditional role as grandparents is extended to fulfill the responsibility of raising their grandkids as their own. If you are in this category, we dually honor you, and we thank God for providing you with all that you need in stamina, wisdom, and village support to nurture the development of your grandchildren so that they may mature and multiply joy and adoration in your life! Wealth that the world provides is nothing when compared to the wealth God provides through the lineage of family. Thank you, Heavenly Father for the sacred love of grandparents' hearts for their grandchildren. We give glory and honor to You, in Jesus' name. Amen!
