Greetings Prayer Warriors,
What would the world be like without the love of parents and
grandparents?
As parents often look forward to an “empty nest” and grandparents look
forward to the “golden years,” often the nest gets refilled with boomerang
children and the golden years are spent helping adult children and raising grandchildren. Let us praise God for the never-ending love
of parents and grandparents who stand in the gap and mirror Christ’s love, mercy
and compassion. They labor endlessly, pouring out what they have gleaned over a
lifetime. They are founts of faith and
vessels of love. Regardless of whether
their personal style is warm and fuzzy or firm and unfailing, they reflect the
sustaining love of God.
Children’s children are the crown of the elderly, and the glory of
children is their parentage. Proverbs 17:6
Lord, hear
our prayers of praise for the gift of parents and grandparents. Immerse them in
your unfathomable love, while blessing, fortifying, and strengthening them. Lighten their load as they carry the crosses
of old age. Prepare for them the most
glorious crowns, as they often fulfill a martyrdom of their dreams here on
earth. Help us to perpetuate their love
in this world!
If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. Luke 9:23-24
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Loving actions speak loudly! Pass it on!
