A Grandma’s Legacy Of Prayer And Love
While she was alive, she never rammed the bible down my throat or preached at me. All mama did was pray, love her family, serve her community and was actively involved in her local church.
Mama was known as the peacemaker. She settled disputes in my family without taking sides. Mama’s mission was for people to know Christ, dwell in peace and love. She was a mother to everyone that needed one, to both men and women alike.
Grandparent For Hire
Lately my daughter has started asking about her grandparents. Each time, she has taken me by surprise and I haven’t figured what to tell her yet.
I try my very best to always tell her the truth, I realized that we need to established a relationship based on honesty even at such tender age of 4yrs. Children may be young but they are not stupid.
So why am I hesitant regarding my reply to her? We only have one living grandmother and she does not reside in America but most importantly hasn’t played an active role in our children’s lives.
Up till now it’s been ok and we do get by, our lives are busy with various other grannies from our church that genuinely love them. There is a part a grandparent plays in the lives of their children and I must admit that it is lacking in our children lives.
