If you follow Jesus you are guaranteed to offend a few Pharisees and people along life’s journey. Michael provides a profound thought to help conquer that feeling that you must please everyone.

A Prayer for your Grandchildren and their Teachers
Our grandchildren have been back in school for about two months. Have you asked them how they are adjusting? New friends? Teachers? Are you still praying for them?
Do you think we are in a cultural shift?
Today, our dear grandchildren are growing up in a culture where the blame game and self-centeredness are prevalent dishonestly. The times have changed since we raised our children. Our children and grandchildren desperately need our prayers.
Are you estranged from your grandchildren?
Being estranged from your grandchildren often results in many negative emotions. Sorting out exactly what you are feeling and trying to develop an approach for dealing with your feelings can be vital for your health, both mental and physical. You will feel sorrow as long as the separation lasts.
Has your computer been hacked?
We must guard our hearts because God valued our hearts, the hearts of our grandchildren, and their parents since He sent his Son, Jesus, into the world to die on the cross for our sins. How do we guard our hearts?
“TIME TO CHILL”
Chilling out may be needed more than many other things found within the church and within a Christian’s life. This is especially evident as division runs rampant, and where the pandemic has pitted Christians against each other over politics and social events. How do we stay calm?
A Prayer for Grandchildren Returning to School
School started in many states last week and more this week. It is time we remember that our grandchildren face a different culture than we did when we were in school. Lillian offers a simply prayer to pray over our grands as they enter school this year.
NOW I KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME!
When we have ongoing problems, we naturally ask God, “WHY?!! Why won’t you fix this, God? Why are you so slow in answering my prayer? What is the purpose of this prolonged frustration?!” While God does not often answer the “why” questions, He does want to answer the “what is the purpose” question.
WAITING TIME IS NEVER WASTED TIME
Without a doubt, one of the hardest things to do in the Christian life is to wait on the Lord. What is that issue in your life that you are waiting on God for? How will you spend your time waiting on God to move? Will you wait His way?
Have you heard of a “praying Babushka”?
There is no doubt that the days of the tyrants were terrible. But we also live in a time of fierce spiritual battle. As dads and grandfahters and the patriarchs of our families we can learn a lot from these precious women and become rock solid men who pray for our grands.
Have you ever paid a heavy price for a conviction?
Do you walk the moral high ground? Or, do you just say you do? When called to pay the price, are you true to your convictions to the point of losing your job, or perhaps you life?
Activity for your Gandkids
