The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Colossians 3:16-17, “Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you,

with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms

and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts

to God. 17 Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the

Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”

Dwell is an imperative verb here. It is a divine mandate. Richly means abundantly.

Teaching and admonishing are also imperatives. We are, therefore, to “fill up to

overflowing” with the Word of God, and let it overflow into the lives of others.

Then, we are to sing and be thankful for all the LORD is and has done for us.

No idleness here, huh? You bet!

We love you undyingly,

Nana & Dado III
