On November 10, 2008 our oldest son, Josh, and his wife, Becca, made us grandparents for the first time.
We are so thankful for Grant William. He is truly our miracle baby, as you know, if you have been reading Becca’s blog about her walk through infertility for two years.
Now I know that I am inexperienced at being a grandparent, but God’s word has some specific instructions to grandparents that I wanted to share.
Deut. 4:9 (NLT)
“But watch out! Be very careful never to forget what you have seen the Lord do for you. Do not let these things escape from your mind as long as you live! And be sure to pass them on to your children and grandchildren.
Timothy’s grandmother was an example of this to us. She passed her faith on to her grandson.
2 Tim. 1:5 (NLT)
I know that you sincerely trust the Lord, for you have the faith of your mother, Eunice, and your grandmother, Lois.
Even though our children are grown, God says that we still have work to do concerning our grandchildren. What a responsibility and a wonderful privilege!!! What fun we are going to have helping our children teach their children about Jesus!!!!!
Psalm 71:18 (NLT) Now that I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God, Let me proclaim your power to this new generation your mighty miracles to all who come after me.
Congratulations on your new grandson! I have read Becca’s blog and he truly is a miracle! I am so happy for you all!
Good stuff. 🙂 Yay for Grant!
