🌱 Seeds in sealed envelopes don’t change gardens. They must be scattered.
And God calls grandmas to scatter generously. This month, let’s scatter seeds of COURAGE by planting the belief that God will give our grandkids strength for whatever they face.
Below are some practical ways to get started.
“God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.” (2 Timothy 1:7)
Dear Jesus, grow seeds of courage in the hearts of my grandkids. When they’re afraid, teach them to trust you. When it’s hard to do the right thing, give them strength to stand firm. When someone needs defending, give them courage to speak. When they fail, give them courage to try again. And when they’re afraid of what comes next, remind them that you are already there. Grow the belief that you are with them, you will give them strength, and they can trust you to be with them.
Amen.
