My Proud Grandchildren
My three grandchildren all received straight A’s on their report cards, so I decided to treat them to something special. I’ve always known they were good students, but I realized I should praise them before they get any older.
It’s a great blessing that my grandchildren are doing so well in their studies. How wonderful it would be if they used these precious gifts for God’s glory! A colleague suggested I should also give them a reward.
These three children are 15, 13, and 9 years old. They are my eldest grandson and two granddaughters. I’m always grateful for these exemplary and precious children. I’m also grateful to my son and daughter-in-law.
I feel even more grateful because I believe God is blessing me. I’m thankful for my husband, who prays for them every day, hoping that these children will grow up to do things that please God. I also realize that prayer blesses everyone and makes everything beautiful.
Even though I know that gratitude brings more things to be grateful for, I’ve been putting off expressing my gratitude. I’m grateful that God, seeing my pitiful state, has allowed me to write again after almost a year of not writing. I’m also grateful that He used my grandchildren as a catalyst to start keeping a gratitude journal, something I’ve been putting off for a long time.
I feel that God watches over my life, always wanting to tell me what He wants me to do, but He is patient with me even when I don’t listen. I give thanks to God for allowing me to obey and begin now.
He waits for me to pray and be grateful so that He can draw out what is in my heart and pour His passion into me. I was born to be a person who gives thanks to God, and I can breathe and live through gratitude. When I am grateful, I feel God’s presence and I am happy.
People live in many different ways, but for me, I cannot live without God. Even for a brief moment, without God, life becomes utterly empty. That’s why God needs to fill my life. Because God alone is the strength that sustains my life and the driving force that keeps me alive.
The saying that growing older isn’t about getting old, but about maturing, resonates with me. I intend to run this race with gratitude until the day I am fully mature and can be presented into God’s hands. I resolve to entrust all the things I cannot handle in this world to God and move forward, looking only ahead. 11-27-2025
