" RESPONSIBILITIES OF A GRANDFATHER"

Yesterday I had the honor and the priviledge of spending some alone time with my five week old grandson Joel. Many memories flooded my mind, like remembering holding young Joels Mother in my arms in much the same way as a newborn. I found myself looking into his face and wondering what his future will be. As a Grandfather I'm concerned about what Mom and Dad don't teach. A Grandparent can be more liberal in what we feel a child is ready to hear or learn. Our oldest daughter the mother of Joel would tell our oldest grandson stories in the Bible and she animated the telling as to keep the attention of a 2 year old. This 2 year old loved 1 Samuel 3 " The Prophetic Call To Samuel" so much that he would recite portions of this chapter on demand this is fact, No brag just fact. When I was a much younger man there was a T.V. Western called " The Guns Of Will Sonnett" starring Walter Brennan. His catch phrase was "No brag just fact" I've borrowed that saying for today. I'm very proud of all my grandchildren.

As a Father and a Grandfather I wish to share the fact that my Wife and I are very instrumental in the teachings of our grandsons.
As the grandparents of five boys and one on the way in April, my Wife and I are staying somewhat up to date with Todays youth,while nostalgia is in our hearts and minds. With the wistfulness of days gone by I sometimes long for the days of not having to lock our doors. My respondsibility for my Son and Daughters will last until I pass. Man says that when we reach the age of 18 we are adults and we are to make our own decisions. (Gal. 4:1,2) " Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything. (2) but he is under guardians and managers until the date by the Father. "

Our Father God knows that the stability and the soundness of a family depends on the Wisdom and the devotion of the grandfather. Guys it's never to late for any of us to change and to take advantage of the Word of God. (Deut. 4:9) So that you do not forget the things which your eyes have seen and they do not depart from your heart all the days of your life; "but make them known to your sons and your grandsons."

Men have you committed your life to God for Safekeeping? If you have, then you have to understand that God deserves the best we have to offer. We must be willing to change our ways of living and become the grandfathers that the Lord wants us to be. If you haven't already, it's time to consider your legacy. Grandfathers may be older than you, but we're experienced in life and the things of God. It's truly a wonderful thing to look into your Grandsons face and see a part of you. As you gaze into that innocent face and you wonder what kind of man or woman this child will grow into. At that moment you will Vow that as long as their is breath in your body and you're of sound mind you will share your Wisdom and Knowledge of God with this infant, I did.

Fathers it's important that you understand Your role and the Grandfathers role in the lives of you children. Never forget that Believers are God's Treasured possessions, so make sure that you have committed your life to God for safekeeping.
My children were under the age of 10 when they met Jesus as their personal Savior. Please know that children are like sponges and Can and Will absorb what ever is poured into them.

May God Bless You All... "IT'S MY PRAYER TO UPDATE THIS PAGE EACH WEDNESDAY"...LORD WILLING
