Friday's Grand Connection Fun
by Mary May Larmoyeux
Some of our grandkids presented me with a precious certificate on Mother's Day. One of our granddaughters said that I had helped her count her blessings. Actually, I had to think about that for a minute. When did I do that?
Then I remembered some times when our grandkids haven't been able to sleep at night. We'd count blessings until they drifted into slumberland. I guess that was etched on their hearts more than I realized.
Once I made Pops a "blessing book," with pictures and notes about why I am blessed to have him for my hubby. (Thanks, Suzanne, for this idea!) We could make a "blessing book" for our grandkids. It could be a special gift on a 13th or 18th birthday.
I want to be more proactive in thanking God for the blessings that He showers on our family. Psalm 51:12 says, "For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield."
How have you helped your grandchildren count their blessings? Do you have any suggestions about how our lives could be marked with grateful hearts?
Have a great weekend,
Mary
