The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Ephesians 4:29, “Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth,

but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment,

so that it will give grace to those who hear.”

To edify means to build up. We ought always be available to help

build up others spiritually. And we do that through our words. Good

words convey the grace of God to others, whereby He is glorified.

Love you each and every one,

Dear Grands,

1 Thessalonians 5:23, “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely;

and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the

coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Our LORD is a God of peace, and it is He who makes us holy. Our spirit is that

part of us that is God-conscious; our soul is that part of us that is self-conscious;

and our body is that part of us that is world-conscious. All of this the LORD

preserves completely for His Coming! Keep all of your thoughts on Him!

We love you more than you know,

Dear Grands,

Psalm 73:25-28, “Whom have I in heaven but You?

And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.

26 My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength

of my heart and my portion forever. 27 For, behold, those

who are far from You will perish; You have destroyed all

those who are unfaithful to You. 28 But as for me, the nearness

of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge,

That I may tell of all Your works.”

The LORD is all that matters. He is our strength from day-to-day.

He is our only good; and He is what He is to us that we tell

others of Him.

We love you all,

Dear Grands,

Psalm 71:17-18, “O God, You have taught me from my youth,

And I still declare Your wondrous deeds.

18 And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me,

Until I declare Your strength to this generation,

Your power to all who are to come.”

Be careful of your steps, but trust the LORD, who holds you up!

Love you all,

Nana & Dado

Dear Grands,

Isaiah 60:1-2, “Arise, shine; for your light has come,

And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.

2 “For behold, darkness will cover the earth

And deep darkness the peoples;

But the LORD will rise upon you

And His glory will appear upon you.”

Take care. We are praying for you.

Love,
