Kim Rodrigues Poet Acrostic

Grandparenting 101

Grand is the wisdom of the experienced;
Raging with tears in the rearview mirror.
Anxiety dealt with, sweet dears.
Now listen, grandchildren, revere
Dad and Mom, but fear God -
Paradise is the presence of Christ.
Are you teachable, let me in;
Roar with the lion, bleat with the lamb.
Enjoy your life but obey God’s commands.
Net salvation and God‘s rich rewards.
Testing will prove you, child.
I am on your side - the bright and invincible.
Negotiating your success on my knees.
God hears with generational blessings.

1 child at a time
O left behind
1 God to spur you on

Valsa George February 23, 2024 at 10:15 PM A lovely acrostic...... Grandparenting is an art, a pleasure and a privilege. Along with other lessons of life grandparents should give God to the young ones. "Roar with the lion, bleat with the lamb. Enjoy your life but obey God’s commands. Net salvation and God‘s rich rewards." Love these lines. I know you are a sweet child of God... Kim Rodrigues February 24, 2024 at 5:44 AM Blessings! Thank you, Valsa!

Sara Kendrick February 23, 2024 at 8:56 AM Yes, it is much easier to be a grandparent to be remembered if it is a one-on-one situation. LOL..My daughter has her son 12 and two granddaughters which she has all of them from time to time. There is usually some sibling rivalry going on a good portion of the time. LOL..Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page to let me know that I placed in your contest. Sara K Kim Rodrigues February 23, 2024 at 1:14 PM Thank you, Sara! I always appreciate you!
