They are the result of generous giving and conscientious stewardship. They are the legacy of members who appreciate the blessings received during their lifetime and who act upon their faith, values and commitment to mission. Healthy Families Include Grandparents Christian families strive to include grandparents in significant family activities. Not just reunions, weddings or anniversaries, but when grandchildren participate in such things as recitals, dramas, school sporting events, graduations, birthday parties, family day trips and the like. Dr. Terry Brazelton, an expert on child development, says grandparents are important to a child's sense of roots.
Grandparents are storehouses of information about family history.
They help the child to understand how he or she fits into the family saga and who the heroes and heroines of the family have been. Dr. Brazelton suggests parents prepare children for visits to grandparents who live at some distance. The Bible points to another contribution of Christian grandparents. Faith, too, can be a wonderful heritage from grandparents. Fellowship We will carpool, see Eva Matthews if you want to go.
