Keep The Most important in Focus

I have been truly blessed with three fantastic boys as my grandsons! I love everything  about being their grandma and there are many things I do with and want my grandsons to know, but among all these things, it is very important for me to keep my focus on the most important thing of all . . . passing on a heritage of confident faith to these three boys.

Yes, I absolutely want them to grow up knowing I love them, all the time. I remember a few years ago when my oldest grandson was about to leave and I called him and said I wanted to tell him something. I smiled, hugged him, and said, "I love you!" He smiled and said, "I knew you were going to say that!" It is possible he heard it a time or two before!

My grandsons know I love them all the time; and I absolutely want them to know this. They also know I love to be with them; I'm so blessed to be able to spend time with the boys as most weeks they have a sleepover on Friday nights (or occasionally on Saturday night instead). I love spending time with the boys!

But, as much as I want them to know I love them and want to spend time with them, I want them to know God loves them and He has a plan for their lives which is for their good, which will not harm them, but will give them hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.) 

I want my grandsons to be firmly grounded in their faith in God. I do not want them to be people who are deceived by Satan's lies, but who grow to be men who trust and believe God. So, while I had a lot of fun with my grandsons while they are young, and am blessed to enjoy time with them now they are growing older, my focus is on passing on a heritage of confident faith, because this is what truly matters.
