I became a grandparent 5 years ago, and it is life-changing. I get it now. I didn’t really have an active grandparent in my life growing up, so I didn’t understand what it was all about…or that special bond. I get it all now.
The love and bond between a grandparent and a grandchild is so special. This puts us in a unique place to do something pretty life-changing with them. We can help ground them in the Word of God, a word that is alive and active and does not come back void. And the great thing about it is it’s for all ages, from 3 to 100.
Kids are growing up in a busy and noisy world. There is so much competing for our attention and theirs now. These are often things that have no value and take precious time from Him. We get it. It’s something we all struggle with, prioritizing our time away from the things that steal our valuable and limited time. This is why it’s more important than ever to be a person in their lives that help ground them in God’s word.
This idea started with me many years ago when I homeschooled my children. I created a Bible memory system that worked for us, and we loved it.
You might be thinking that it sounds boring. It’s just for kids. And it will take too much time. It’s none of those things.
Bible Memory is fun. It’s for all ages. And it can be done in as little as 5 minutes a day.
I started memorizing scripture again at the age of 56. I also do these with my young grandchildren now. They love it. They’re little boys, so I made it extra fun for them, and I decoupage each verse on a rock for them and put it in a treasure box….because it really is treasure.
And the great thing about this is it is something you can even do with your grandchildren that live far away. You can get all your grandchildren involved no matter where they live. You can even make it more fun by including the far away grands in a zoom while your local grands are with you. Make it a family affair!
As grandparents, we want to make sure we leave behind the most important things.
