Sincere Faith?

2 Timothy 1: 5
I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now,
I am sure, dwells in you as well.

I heard something sort of startling last night as I watched the evening news.
It’s suggested that most grandparents spend 70 times more on their Grandchildren, than Grandparents did just 25 years earlier.

Timothy’s Mother and Grandmother had a great spiritual influence on their boy.
Timothy turned out to be a strong man of faith, because of his Mom and Grandmother.

There was a time when I felt that if I parented my child, that once they left the coop, my responsibility for raising kids was over.
And yet I know so many Grandparents who have active roles in raising they’re Grandbabies.

My Grandmother lived until she as 105 years old, and I learned so many life lessons from her.
Old people are smarter than we think.

If you’re a Grandparent, what kind of lessons are your Grandkids learning from you?
Grandparents must firmly take a leadership role in our society. I love the chance I get to teach my Grandchildren.

I have learned so much from older Grandfatherly/Grandmotherly people, as they were willing to share their intimate life experiences.
I believe the Grandparents in churches, should be allowed to have an active voice in teaching the younger folks.

It is suggested that old people are gaining popularity again.
It is believed that many older Grandparents, are still the glue that holds this crazy society together.

So I wonder if our Grandkids will be known for our sincere faith?
