Grandparents play a unique role within our families, and God has created them for some amazing reasons. Here are just 21 of those.
Spending time together is one of the best gifts you can your grandchildren.
A kiddo loaded with too much freedom, too much money, and a lack of heart and mind training is predisposed to succumb to the torque of schoolyard frivolity and college insanity.
In an era where grandparents have taken an increasing role in the raising of their grandchildren, we have to ask ourselves if we are setting our grandkids up for a life in which they believe they are entitled because we’ve done everything but tell them so.
Instead of trying to guess the perfect gift or purchasing a slew of plastic toys that will eventually break or end up in the trash, why not give little ones an experience that creates lasting memories?
These ideas should not be viewed as a rigid to-do list with condemnation that inevitably results when something is missed. Instead, consider how you can grieve the loss of your love as you simultaneously move into the next season of grandparenting life.
Start planning how you are going to spend your time the next time you are together!
