Help me Lord to always STOP and have these conversations with my “grands.” Thank you Lord, that they are safe and warm tonight. Thank you Lord that they love reading their Bible stories again and again and again! Prepare their hearts to hear and understand the free gift that you have prepared for them one day. Continue this circle of eternal hope in our family through the lives of our grandchildren.

Psalm 23:5-6 My cup runneth over, surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen
