Many kids have no time for grandma and grandpa these days.
They seem to be too busy to be bothered anyway.
Kids are plugged in to Blackberry, Sony and so many computer games.
Grandparents can feel ignored and unwanted; kids can really drive them insane.
Grandparents, don't miss out!
Don't give up hope!
If you give up being a grandparent.
Kids miss out on learning.
Grandparents miss out on giving.
We all miss out on a life worth living!
So don't give up!
Don't despair!
Hug the kids and say a prayer!
Look into their eyes and tickle them until they giggle, giggle, giggle.
Dive into their hearts and until they wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.
Wiggle in a thought here and there.
Don't give up!
Don't despair.
Hug the kids and say a prayer!
Being a grandparent is your God given right.
Don't let the devil take away their hope and your delight.
Yes, you can still be a good grandparent today.
Kids still love to learn new things and new ways to play.
When children seem to ignore you and seem to go about their separate ways;
pray that our precious grandchildren will listen and will not go astray.
Amen
