GOD AND GRAND KIDS!

My wife and I have been married for 53 years and counting. We have been blessed beyond measure and one of those blessings is five grandchildren: two boys and three girls. And each one is different. Very different. And no longer kids.

One has graduated from college and is working.

One will graduate from college in December.

One has entered the realm of blessed motherhood, is married and living in California. (And yes, that makes us great grandparents X one, so far = Little Evie)

One is working for Starbucks as a shift manager.

One is still seeking to find purpose and meaning in life.

All were loved and raised by Christian parents.

All were loved and they know and were taught the truth.

Some are living for God and some are not.

Proverbs 22:6 says clearly “train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

God is sovereign.

They are responsible.

Where will their lives take them?

How will their life’s journey end?

Will it make me proud?

How can we make a difference?

My wife and I can PRAY for them every single day. Pray for Providence to intervene. For Wisdom to gain a foothold. For Grace to leave an indelible mark on their lives. For Mercy to be kind and longsuffering. For Christ to be real. And then, we must leave it at the foot of God’s Throne and say, “Your will, be done O Lord.”
