Thank you for the life [You]
Thank you, Lord, for all you do.[You]
It is so easy to read over those nits and spags as we write and even edit our work. This is a lovely prayer for your grandchildren. I'm sure God heard and is on the job already. Good thoughts grandpa. Nancy:)

There is nothing like those grandbabies and watching them learn and progress and their personalities take shape. And to think that us grandfathers played some part in the people they will become. Thanks for sharing.

    Father's Day is still going on. Unfortunately, my daughter came in contact with a friend positive for COVID, and had to self-quaratine for a couple days to be safe.

Amen. I struggle to put anything else of value to my comments. You have uttered a very powerful prayer. The only thing that I can add to what you have so strongly prayed is amen. I very strongly agree with all that you have prayed for and hope with all my heart that your prayer is granted just as you have prayed.

    Thank you, nomi. I hope the pinball ride of life is more bonuses than tilts.

    One can only truly hope, but that hope is mighty powerful when it is expressed in real honest faith.

It is good that you only ask God for things indirectly, not for yourself but for your loved ones, and only for help that they should find you. Megan will have the hardest life if your wishes are granted. A biological scientist who is also a true Christian. Difficult beliefs to reconcile. You should pray for extra support for her, I think.

    I'm not sure what a "true" Christian is, but science and Christianity have never been in conflict that I know. What is true is always true.

    Maybe things are easier your side of the pond. Here a lot of people go to church for show, and the rest of the week are mean, unhelpful people (not true Cristians). I always found I was warring between evolution and nothing after death with God's tenets. It made for conflict in my mind. Kate xx

Thank you for introducing me to your beautiful grandchildren. They sound strong and capable of guiding our world to a better place some day. I would wish the same for mine and that they don't forget the part God plays in their lives.

This a beautiful prayer and it sounds very sincere. I like that you've started it with thanking God and you've made it a very it a very unselfish prayer by focusing on you grandchildren and expressing the desire that they have a close relationship with God. The three youngest are adorable. We all need to praying for out grandchildren. They are the future of this country.
