LDS Parents truly appreciate supportive LDS grandparents, who help reinforce that which they are teaching in the home. For some of our grandchildren - they may be growing up in the homes of our own children, who do not live or practice the teachings of Mormonism currently. Our desire to guide our grandchildren toward choices that will bless their lives, can be even more of a challenge as an LDS grandparent, if this is the case.
Isn’t it such a relief, to know that it is okay for our grandchildren to make mistakes - and that this - is even part of the eternal plan of happiness? When there is proper teaching of eternal principles, understood by our grandchildren, there is simply no doubt that they will ultimately choose truth. This is the faith of the LDS grandparent.
The skill of agency, is to learn how to use it properly. It is best learned, when we guide gently the learning process that accompanies allowing children to exercise their agency. The proper use of agency - is applying our ability to choose - toward those things that will lead us to Jesus Christ.
An LDS grandparent understands, just how important it is - to find creative ways to connect with each grandchild, so that this loving influence and guidance can be developed for good.
As an LDS grandparent, finding ways to share our testimonies in simple ways with our grandchildren - can become a beacon of light, that will lead our grandchildren toward righteous actions.
This is the power, of the LDS GrandParent!
