Today our youth have so many things out there ready to devour them even within their schools that most of us never were confronted with when we we in Elementary, Middle, or High School.
How can you learn what hidden talents God has bestowed into each of your own children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren and help them develop them if you do not spend time with them.
And since they all have 50,000 things and folks pulling on them to go here & there & everywhere that often they do not focus on important things such as their classroom studies and homework that often is simply a bore to them...
How about starting a new tradition...You invite your grand children who live in your area to go walking with you regularly.
Make a date with your grandchildren & great grandchildren every Saturday morning for example at the same time each week for them to meet & greet each other week after week.
Even if you Granny or Grand-Pa Pa are not in the best of health or shape...
Making this commitment to your precious little ones could actually save their lives and make you much younger & spry all at the same time!
Each week Granny can make a different special Granny-Made Brew Punch in her favorite punch bowl that she only once a year took out at Christmas, New Years or maybe the 4th of July to refresh both herself, Grand Pa Pa and all of her grand walkers. Each week she may have different other surprises but only after their shared walk-talk share and care exercise time together.
And Granny & Grand Pa Pa never limit your Granny Grand Pa-Pa walk-talk exercise...punch & lunch sessions to just your own biological children...!
Please no!
They will miss their friends and may choose not to join you unless you tell them to bring their best friends along!
Every valiant Christian soul knows that it is not enough to go to heaven alone at the end of our lives.
We must live as such that HIS joy is so vibrant within our hearts that our mere presence anywhere causes others who have not God in their lives...
To want to meet & greet Jesus Christ at every moment along every street the rest of their lives.
So when Jonathan James, Sarah Elizabeth, Colin Michael or Callie Elizabeth cal and say: "Granny maybe next week...Sally Mae & I want to go to a movie."
Granny never say: "Well okay." You will surely lose them.
Say instead... "Bring Sally Mae too! And after our walk talks and punch bowl super snacks...I'll put on a movie in the VCR and we will all enjoy it together!"
Never come unglued thinking their might not be enough for everyone...
For God multiplies all for any of HIS own who lovingly, generously always says: "There is always room for one more!" even if one more keeps coming every half hour or every minute.
For he or she who refuses to exclude even one of HIS little lambs...regardless how young or old...regardless what poor choices they have made in their past...
These excite Our Almighty Father so so soooooooooooooo much that HE cannot help Himself creating MIRACLE after MIRACLE for & through such a Granny or Grand Pa Pa Momma or Papa who reach out to HIS lambs who could stay lost.
Regardless if only 10-12 years old or even 13-21 or older...
These younger ones will yearn for their own personal Granny Walk Talks....Stretching and flexing much more than their muscles with Granny or Grand Pa Pa.
They will know that Granny and Grand Pa Pa care more for them than any other.
And they will not have to call Granny to get them out of trouble, because since they learned how much fun they can have with Granny...
They will not want to spend their time with any one else...and you & Grand Pa Pa will stay healthier at the same time!
Your turn Granny! And Your turn Grand Pa Pa!
