The Joy and Challenge of Grandparenting - Devotional Reading Plan

As an authentic follower of Christ, grandparenting may not be as difficult as you think. Jay Payleitner, national speaker and author, encourages grandparents in this five-day devotional to be a servant leader to their family – especially those grandkids. Every lesson learned, every peak and valley, and all the love you've experienced has prepared you for the wonderment, chaos, and adventure of grandparenting. Just let the Holy Spirit lead. You're ready. I'll bet you've even got the crown to prove it! (Proverbs 16:31, NLT). Jay and his wife Rita have eight grandchildren who call them “Grama” and “Chief.” These devotionals are excerpted in part from A GRAND WAY TO LIVE. There's more at jaypayleitner.com.
