Grandparenting with a Purpose: Effective Ways to Pray for your Grandchildren
A few years ago on a sunny autumn day, my husband and I were traveling in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Frequently, we saw the rugged snow-covered mountains and golden aspen trees reflecting in a lake. As I was pondering the awesome sight, I could not help but ask myself:
- Does God’s love reflect from my life to my children and grandchildren like the mountains reflect on the lake?
- Do they see Jesus in me?
Considering these questions and the possible answers led me to realize that the sun needs to shine on the water for there to be a reflection. In order for God’s love to reflect from my life, the love of God’s Son, Jesus Christ, must shine in my heart.
“As water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.”
Prayer: Dear Lord, I pray my life will reflect your love to my grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I pray they will want my Jesus. In Jesus’ name, Amen
