Heavenly Father, I know that every
period of our lives has its responsibilities
as well as its joys. Today, it seems that
grandparents have either too little use or
too much-either we are shunted aside to
do nothing or we are called upon to do
everything. Help me to know just where
my duties lie in my particular situation
and to carry them out as best I can. Take
care of my family-my children and their
children. Inspire them all to follow your
Son and lead truly Christian lives. Keep
all of us in your loving care, never let us
turn away from you, and help us in the
end to receive the joy of entering into your
glorious presence forever.
