Tuesday's Grand Connection Thought
by Mary May Larmoyeux
When I look at the world today, I realize how important it is to regularly pray for our grandkids. Only God knows the challenges they will face in tomorrow’s world.
I’ve begun a prayer notebook to help me be intentional about praying for each of our grands on a regular basis. Since we have five grandkids, I pray specifically for each child one day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) and record specific prayer requests and Bible verses in a three-ring spiral notebook. It has five sections (one section for each of the grands).
There are many wonderful books on prayer. Two that I enjoy using are While They Were Sleeping: 12 Character Traits for Moms to Pray and A Grandmother’s Guide to Praying for Her Family.
While They Were Sleeping gives specific verses to pray for the following character traits: kindness, humility, teachability, forgiveness, obedience, discernment, purity, responsibility, courage, servanthood, contentment, endurance.
A Grandmother's Guide to Praying for her Family has 260 very short devotions, each beginning with a Bible verse and ending with a prayer.
God honors prayers; I’ve seen this in my own life and imagine that you have too. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to pray without ceasing.
What a privilege it is to pray for our grands. It’s a gift that money can’t buy. One that will affect not only their lives today, but also their future.
He is able,
Mary

Beautiful, Mary. Thank you!
I love the picture of the sleeping boy, snuggling with his teddy bear. Is anything more precious? Prayer makes everything better. :-)
Hi, Linda and Sharon! It's good to hear from both of you. Yes, Sharon, that sleeping boy is precious.
Cool blog as for me. I'd like to read something more about this matter. The only thing I would like to see on that blog is a few pictures of any devices.
