Gracious God, thank You For the precious gift of grandparents And grandchildren, together blessed— Loving with love overflowing, Side by side or in reminiscence. Thank You for everyday moments: Mints in the old candy jar, A stuffed toy hugged after its mend, Muddy shoes at the frog pond, Favorite stories read before bed. With thanks, I bring to You this prayer For all grandparents and grandchildren, Especially those dear to me. May we learn from one another And stay ever in Your company. Amen.
