Melody, there are more ways to communicate our Saviours love than specific “talk”. I am learning how to honor the wishes of my children without dishonoring the Lord. Actions speak louder than words. I’ll he submitting a story that drives this concept home in the future. Above all I respect my grandchildrens patents wishes without animosity. The Holy Spirit has got this!! Im seeing it in real time. Dont stop praying about it.

We have heard stories of grandparents who can spend time with their grandchildren as long as they do not share about Jesus with them. Even though this is hard for an intentional Christian grandparent it is not insurmountable. Keep building your healthy relationship with them, exhibiting genuine love, grace, and mercy of the Lord. As the grandchildren get older they may begin to ask questions. Trust that God will open opportunities as well as answer your prayers.

I’m curious about your comment even if they don’t allow Jesus talk. My sister needs some help with this problem.

Loving every day with them. Continued blessings to the far away grandparents.

I can relate as we are on the other side of the world! Thankfully, we have been able to make it home to the US at least once a year to see the precious grands. May the Lord bless and keep them in our absence.

I am inspired to take even more opportunities to interact with these little ones. May God bless the far-a-way grandparents with many precious moments.
