Dialogue between grandmother and grandson

-

God has given us much. Paul writes to Timothy:

I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. 
2 Timothy 1:5 (ESV)

1. WhatsApp dialogue between grandmother and grandson

Grandma: "Dear grandson, I would be so happy if you could make an exception this weekend and stay with us until Sunday. I bought a large piece of meat and would love to serve you."

Grandson: "Yes, I've decided to stay until Sunday after all, so we can spend some more quality time together."

Grandma: "Grandson, you are a treasure to me. I cherish spending time with you."

Grandson: "That's wonderful! Hello Grandma! May Giulia also celebrate Christmas with us? She would love to meet you, and we would like to stay for two nights."

Grandma: "Grandson, yes, of course. We're looking forward to meeting you."

Grandson: "Great! I'll let you know."

Grandma: "Hello grandson, could you please tell us which days you and Giulia will be visiting us? Thank you."

Grandson: "Hello Grandma, we would like to spend December 23rd and 24th with you."

Grandma: "Okay, welcome! Please let me know what time you'll be there. Hello grandson, we've reserved a table for December 23rd. Grandpa and I are celebrating our 68th wedding anniversary."

Grandson: "Hello Grandma! That's wonderful, we're so happy for you. We're really looking forward to seeing you again."

Grandma: "Grandson, thank you for the wonderful news that you're getting engaged and want to walk your path together. To love Jesus and have Him with you in your life together."

Grandson: "I've sent you a video."

Grandma: "Hello grandson, I watched your video again after your message. You prepared so well. To capture this memory of your special day for later, of your great love."

Grandson: "Thank you, Grandma, and best wishes from Giulia too!"


2. Grandchildren are special

Grandchildren feel comfortable around their grandparents.

Grandchildren are like crowns on their grandparents' heads. For kings, a crown is a symbol of royalty, honor, recognition, and responsibility.


3. What does God's Word say about grandchildren?

Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.
Proverbs 17:6 (ESV)

May you see your children’s children! Peace be upon Israel!
Psalm 128:6 (ESV)

The significance of the crown for grandparents. They possess a divine power of love, which manifests itself through recognition and appreciation. Grandchildren need a lot of attention. They learn by example from their grandparents. They need not only words but also values.


4. Our responsibility as grandparents

God's word provides the answer. Moses gives God's instruction to the people of Israel:

How on the day that you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, the Lord said to me, ‘Gather the people to me, that I may let them hear my words, so that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children so. 
Deuteronomy 4:10 (ESV)

A Maskil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth!
Psalm 78:1 (ESV)

We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.
Psalm 78:4 (ESV)

That the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children, so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments;
Psalm 78:6+7 (ESV)

Blessings to all grandfathers and grandmothers!

Gleichnis vom vierfachen Ackerfeld

Bild
  https://waechter-media.de/java/saemann.html Die vier verschiedenen Böden können als Bild für unser Herz betrachtet werden. Gottes Wort ist die Saat die in unser Herz fällt. Teile fallen auf guten Boden, es geht auf und bringt viel Frucht. Teile fallen auf den harten Weg, und Satan raubt alles direkt, da mein Herz an manchen Stellen hart und undurchdringlich geworden ist, weil Menschen auf ihn herumgetrampelt sind. Teile fallen auf steinigen Boden, wo wenig Tiefe da ist und kaum Wurzeln wachsen können. Es gibt Steine in meinem Leben, die verhindern, dass ich geistig reif und mündig werde... ohne Mündigkeit hält der Glaube in den Stürmen des Lebens nicht stand. Teile fallen unter Dornen, die sinnbildlich für Flüche und Bindungen stehen können 1. Der Weg Auf hartem Boden kann kein Same eindringen und wachsen. Es gibt Bereiche in unserem Herzen, wo Verhärtungen da sind. Durch unsere Erfahrungen treffen wir Entscheidungen und entwickeln bestimmte Gedankenmuster, die ...

Transformation of human into heavenly body

  More Info:  https://www.wiederkunft-jesu.info/ When Jesus returns, our human body will be transformed into a heavenly body. Many Christians at the time of  Jesus return have already died and will still be resurrected. Many cannot understand with their minds how it would be possible for God to bring the molecules of human bodies back together. That's why I would like to try to make it more understandable with two examples from scientists: One day, an employee of the famous chemist Faraday dropped a small silver cup into a container of acid, dissolved in it and disappeared. When Faraday came in, he added more chemicals to the jar. A moment later all the silver particles were at the bottom of the vessel. He sifted out the misshapen silver and gave it to a silversmith, who restored the cup so that it shone brighter than before. If Faraday could excrete the dissolved silver and recover his cup, how much more can God reassemble the scattered dust of a body. Knight, p.56...

Parable of the fourfold soil

Bild
  https://waechter-media.de/java/saemann.html The four different floors can be viewed as a picture for our heart. God's Word is the seed that falls into our hearts. Parts fall on good soil, it grows and bears much fruit. Parts fall the hard way, and Satan steals it all straight away, as my heart has become hard and impenetrable in places because of men trampling on him. Parts fall onto stony ground where there is little depth and roots can hardly grow. There are stones in my life that prevent me from becoming spiritually mature and mature... without maturity, faith cannot withstand the storms of life. Parts fall under thorns, which can symbolize curses and bonds 1. The path Seeds cannot penetrate and grow on hard ground. There are areas in our hearts where there are hardenings. Through our experiences we make decisions and develop certain thought patterns, which in turn influence our decisions. It's like a network of trails. It is very difficult to take new paths and these p...
