Being a grandparent is one of life’s great privileges. It can bring deep joy, unexpected challenges, plenty of questions and many precious moments along the way.

Yet if we are to give love, wisdom, patience and encouragement to our families, we also need to care for our own hearts. We need to stay close to the Lord, the One who strengthens, guides and sustains us.
