It’s true, isn’t it? Just ask someone about their grandkids and their face lights up, they show you pictures, and they get giddy all of a sudden. No wonder Proverbs 17:6 says that grandchildren are the crown, or should I say the reason for joy, of the age
Ron: Do you see that smile on that older person’s face? They must be a grandparent.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: It’s true, isn’t it? Just ask someone about their grandkids and their face lights up, they show you pictures, and they get giddy all of a sudden. No wonder Proverbs 17:6 says that grandchildren are the crown, or should I say the “reason for joy,” of the aged.
Now sometimes in blended families grandchildren bring an added blessing: they unite the family. To a grandchild there’s no grandparent and stepgrandparent, it’s just “grandpa” and “grandma;” “granddad” and “Nana.” They don’t’ know the family history and don’t care. You’re just someone they love. Now that will light up a face and a family. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
