The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

1 Thessalonians 3:12-13, “…may the Lord cause you to increase

and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also

do for you; 13 so that He may establish your hearts without blame in

holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus

with all His saints.”

Thank you for your prayers. We remember you in ours daily!

Love to each of you,

Nana & Dado III

Dear Grands,

Colossians 3:12-14, “So, as those who have been chosen of God,

holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility,

gentleness and patience; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving

each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the

Lord forgave you, so also should you. 14 Beyond all these things

put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.”

Bearing with one another relates to present offences.

Forgiving each other relates to past offences.

I have discovered over the years that failure to forgive

is a primary fault that results in hurt only to the one who

fails to forgive.

God bless you abundantly today,

Dear Grands,

Please read these verses slowly and meditatively.

Colossians 2:8-10, “See to it that no one takes you captive

through philosophy and empty deception, according to the

tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the

world, rather than according to Christ. 9 For in Him all the

fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, 10 and in Him you have

been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority…”

If anything does not “square” with Scripture, it is not

of the LORD. The LORD is our sole Authority!

Love you all big bunches,

Nana & Dado III

P. S. We still have not discovered what happened to

Ricky’s Resurrection candy. If you know, please

let me know.

Dear Grands,

Philippians 4:6-7, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer

and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your

hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians is such a rich book! It is difficult to rescue a single verse or two.

It is far better to read the whole book of four chapters!

Nana and I enjoyed fellowshipping with each of you over this Resurrection

Sunday. Keep us in your prayers as you pray for your parents and one

another.

Love you always and more than you’ll ever know,

Nana & Dado III

Dear Grands,

Philippians 2:14-15, “Do all things without grumbling or disputing;

so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent,

children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and

perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world.”

Have a Blessed RESURRECTION Sunday,

Nana & Dado III
