Why leave our grandchildren’s future in the air, up to chance, without great anticipation? Instead, why not pray eagerly, earnestly, and fervently for God’s rich blessings in them and through them–to bless untold thousands?
Grandparents play a unique role within our families, and God has created them for some amazing reasons. Here are just 21 of those.
