IN PRAISE OF GRANDMOTHERS

Grandmothers have decades of life experience - both good and bad.

They have the benefit of being in the family but not in the daily battles.

Tony has 8 grand kids. She has seen to it that they do well in school. Tony is not shy. For her, these children are always polite.

Rhoda didn't say much. Her practice of kneeling at bedtime influenced a generation.

Stella at 80 is still bailing out families and grand kids. It is her full time job.

Aileen is keeping the 8 grandchildren of five adopted children in touch with each other despite big challenges.

Mildred has mothered 5 grandchildren on her own for 20 years.

Barna Research has studies that show grandmothers to be the first line of faith influence on children.

In this too busy generation, we can't neglect such treasures.
