Monday, June 28, 2021 A Loving Rebuke "For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child" (Hebrews 12:6 NLT). Have you ever met someone whom you genuinely wanted to impress? You really wanted to say just the right thing, but you ended up blurting out something so absurd and foolish that you couldn't believe you actually said it. I think that's how Peter felt when He saw Jesus's transfiguration on the mountaintop. He wanted to say something profound, something insightful. But instead he said, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" (Matthew 17:4 NKJV). One reason Peter spoke up, according to Mark's gospel, is that "he did not know what to say" (Mark 9:6 NKJV). Another reason is that he was "heavy with sleep" (Luke 9:32 NKJV). I wonder if Moses or Elijah turned to Jesus and said, "Who is that exactly?" The Bible tells us that while Peter was still speaking, God actually spoke from Heaven. The Father addressed the situation and said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!" (Matthew 17:5 NKJV).   CONTINUE READING →

5 Things That Hurt Relationships with Grandkids   Stacey Monaco When writing about the relationship between grandparent and grandchild, it is very common in Christian commentaries and articles to mention Proverbs 17:6. The verse reads, "Children's children are a crown to the aged." This scripture seems both fitting and worthy of a greeting card, as it brings to mind visions of the elder generation loving and mutually being adored by their grandchildren. In the days of King David, when words of wisdom were recorded in the book of Proverbs, family and community life was intimate. Multiple generations were found living beneath one roof and carrying out the duties of family, making a living side-by-side. Three generations could be found at the table, and babies were bounced on the knee by parents and grandparents alike. While the term crown in Proverbs 17:6 can carry a more romantic and gratifying thought of grandchildren being a reward that beautifies and dignifies the life of a grandparent, in truth, it is imperative that grandparents consider seriously the charge of care and handling that comes with such a reward. Grandchildren, in the same way as a crown of gold, require proper care and handling. The wise and loving grandparent has the opportunity to treasure and value their grandchildren, seeking at all times to nourish both the child and their relationship with their grandchild. As is common with all relationships, there can be many seen and unseen pitfalls ready to wreak havoc between grandparent and grandchild. Here are five things that can potentially hurt your relationship with your grandchild and suggestions on how you can avoid these pitfalls.
