A Journal To My Grandson 4
When life gets in the way…
The Prayer of a Grandmother
Dear Heavenly Father,
You have given us
A grandson to enjoy.
In return, I ask
That You would employ
Our fam’ly to teach him
All about You.
Give understanding
to us to do Your will.
And then I would ask
Help us to be still
To know You are our God
When he’s not here.
Help us nurture him,
show him the love from You,
encourage him in all,
and give him hugs, too.
Let him know he is loved
Where’er he may be.
Put a hedge ‘round him
Whate’er is going on
When we cannot be near.
May he have a song
Put in his little heart
And that by You.
Keep him safe in You
Hold him close to Your heart
Tell him his grandparents
Loved him from the start
From beginning to end
Our hearts are his.
Thank you so much, Lord,
For this beautiful one
The one placed in our path
Our handsome grandson.
You placed him there for a
Special Reason.
Thank You, Lord
Amen
