A Grandmother's Prayer


Dear God,
You have almighty power in your hands.
Thank you for every one of my dear grands!
Thank you for guiding them along the way.
May they acknowledge your blessings every day.
Lord, hold them safely with each strong arm;
Let this world do no harm.
Your power and strength I want them to know.
Let thy goodness and mercy overflow.
Allow each one to be trained in the Way they should go,
So, "when they are older they will not depart from it."
May there be a desire to serve you and never quit.
Oh, Lord, thank you for keeping my grandchildren in your loving care.
This is a grandmother's humble prayer.
Amen.


Grandmother's Love

Grandmother's love hugs and squeezes with all her might.
Grandmother's love takes your hand and holds it tight.
Grandmother's love gives a good treat.
Grandmother's love makes her lap a comfortable seat.
Grandmother's love tells stories and reads books.
Grandmother's love admires her grandchild's cunning looks.
Grandmother's love buys toys and other stuff.
Grandmother's love is gentle and a little tough.
Grandmother's love is so very clever.
Grandmother's love will last forever!


Grandparents

Grandparents give great gifts to grandchildren.

They are thoughtful, and we are thankful for the thousands of things they do.

We're hysterically happy for grandparents who are heroes and
have huge hugs, helpful hands, and humble hearts.

Visiting with Our
Grandparents

We each want to jump up in our seat
As we turn onto our grandparents' street.
We are always so excited!
Our grandparents seem delighted!
First, they give us a hug and a kiss.
We hear how much we have been missed.
In the kitchen, we quickly look
To see what our grandparents are preparing to cook.
We get a snack or a treat
And wait until the food is ready to eat.

Grandma shares stories, reads books, and plays games.
She does so many activities, we can't say the names.
Grandma is like a friend.
She plays along when we want to pretend.
Whenever we sing a song,
If she knows the words, she sings along.
When Grandma is in the groove,
She shows us a dance move.
At times when we only want to play
She makes us study and learn anyway.

When our behavior is not very good,
She gets onto us like a grandma should.
There are times when it does not seem right;
Because we are told we must say good night.
Once we get into our beds,
Grandma pats our backs and rubs our heads.
When you do not hear a peep,
It's because we've fallen fast asleep!

Grand-daddy spends time with us as well.
Sharing all that he does would take too long to tell.
Grand-daddy helps to make us spoiled.
He even cleans us up when we are soiled.
Our favorite cartoon, he often picks.
He finds good movies on Netflix.
We could stay outside for hours,
Helping him paint, wash cars, or plant flowers.
People might think we are in the way.
That is not what Grand-daddy would say.
He comes to get us if we need a ride.
There is so much joy our grandparents provide.
We play with toys and bathe with our shark.
At our grandparents' house, we have fun with Uncle Marq.
Rarely outside, but always inside,
He takes us on an airplane ride.
He gives us love and care,
Lifts us in the air,
Teaches us how to play ball,
Picks us up when we fall,
Shares candy, drinks, wings, and fries;
His goodies are always a great surprise!
He lets us listen to a beat.
We do our dance and move our feet.
Sometimes we want to go where-ever he may be.
If we whine, he says, "Stop acting like a baby!"
When we want him to play with us more,
Uncle Marq walks out the door.
We try to follow every track.
He quickly says, "I'll be right back."

When our daddy comes for us, we box with him and play fight.
He says, "Guys, it's time to go." We try to miss our flight.
It's always fun to spend the night.

A Morning Prayer

Dear Lord,
Thank you this morning for opening my eyes.
I am thankful I can see the sunrise.
Thank you for letting people work and play.
Thank you Lord, for a brand-new day.
Amen.


A Bedtime Prayer

Dear Lord,
It is bedtime, and I must not forget
To thank you for letting me see the sunset.
Thank you for keeping me safe night and day.
Thank you for listening when I pray.
God bless mommies, daddies, and grandparents, too.
God bless brothers and sisters, old and new.
God bless aunties, uncles, friends, and you know who.
God bless the whole world! Now, I'm through.
Amen.


Saying Grace


Dear God,
With two fish and five loaves of bread, A
crowd of five thousand people were fed.
Thank you, God, for feeding me.
For everything, I give thanks to thee.
Thank...
