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

This is a specially excellent Acrostic delivery, Kim, mostly because this grandparent is wise and her advice is worth heeding. I am in no doubt that you are an adorable grandmother. Regards // paul

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...

a wonderful Acrostic, Kim, filled with God's love and sound advice. Liked the '101' at the end...that was clever. Have a great evening, Sara

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
