A Great Valentine’s Idea with Purpose

I recently heard of an excellent idea for grandparents to use for Valentines for their grandchildren that I would like to share with you.

For example, send them a Valentine with two five-dollar bills (or whatever amount you desire.) One five-dollar bill is your love gifts to them, the other five-dollar bill is for them to show love forward to someone in need. This will give you an opportunity to discuss different options of how they can show love to others. Then ask them to report to you how they showed their love forward.

We read in 1 John 4:11, “Dear Friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another” I John 4:11.

Here is a Valentine’s prayer for you:

Dear Father, I pray my grandchildren will have

a heart that is gentle, tender, and teachable, 

a heart that loves You, a heart that wants to obey You,

a heart You can use for Your glory. In Jesus name, Amen.
