Presentation transcript:

Grand Parenting I. What is to be an older person’s attitude toward old age? A. They are to look forward to it. 1. It is a reward for righteousness (Deut. 5:33; 11:21; I Kgs. 3:14; Job 5:26; Ps. 91:16; Pro. 3:2; 9:11; 10:27). 2. It is a time to enjoy the fruit of one’s hands (Is. 65:22; Pro. 17:6).

3. It is to be a time of real fruitfulness (Ps. 92:13-14). B. They are to look at it as a blessing. 1. Silver hair is a crown of glory (Pro. 16:31). 2. Gray hair is the beauty of the aged (Pro. 20:29). C. They are to realize that God is very present and still working in their lives (Is. 46:4).

II. What are the qualities that are to be possessed by people of age? They are to provide wisdom and understanding (Job 12:12) A. Superior wisdom belongs to the aged; hence, in the Scriptures we always find them in positions of authority and guidance (Job12:20).

B. “Much experience is the crown of old men, and the fear of God is their glory” (Ecclesiasticus 25:6, Apocryphal). C. It should be noted that it is possible to waste your life in folly and not acquire wisdom that normally comes with years (Job. 32:9; Eccl. 4:13).

III. What is the ministry of the older to the younger? A. The older are to be people of counsel (Ezek. 7:26). 1. It is wisdom for the young to seek their counsel and give heed to it (Ex. 18:13- 27). 2. It is folly for the young to reject the counsel of the older (I Kgs. 12:6-8; II Chr. 10:6-13).

B. The older are to guide the younger generation into the purposes of God. 1. God revealed His plans through the elders of Israel (Ex. 3:16-18; 12:21; 17:5-6). 2. The elders were responsible to teach and stabilize the younger generation (Deut. 32:7; Job. 21:7; Joel 1:2; Titus 2:28).

3. The older are to impart their wisdom and experience to the young that they might be able to enter in (Ps. 71:18). 4. The older are to lead the way when God says build (Ezra 5:1-5, 9). C. The older are to be examples to the younger (II Tim. 1:5)

IV. What should be the attitude of the young to the old? A. They should honor and respect the older (Lev. 19:32) 1. The aged are honorable in God’s eyes (Is. 9:14-15). 2. They are the spiritual fathers and mothers in the house of the Lord (Mt. 19:29) and they should have the same respect as parents (Pro. 23:22; Ex. 20:12).

3. To show lack of respect to the elders will bring judgment (II Kgs. 2:23; Deut. 27:16; Pro. 20:20; 30:17; Mt. 15:4).

B. They should seek out and listen to their counsel (Pro. 1:8; Eph. 6:2). C. They should be cautious about their own opinions in the presence of the elder (Job. 32:4-6). D. They should follow the faith of the old to be strong (Heb. 13:7; Phil. 4:9). E. They should not cast off the old (Ps. 71:9).

V. What are some ways that parents can help their children relate to the grandparents? A. Parents should visit their parents often to maintain a vital relationship. B. Parents should always treat their parents with respect, honor and dignity in the presence of the grandchildren. C. Parents should seek the counsel of their parents.

D. Parents should emphasize the positive qualities in the lives of their parents to their children. E. Parents should encourage their children to do special things for the grandparents. F. Parents should make sure their children spend time with their grandparents. G. Parents should be prepared to assist their parents when they are old.

H. Parents should not use grandparents as their only babysitters (emergency only).

VI. What are some ways that grandparents can become a more vital part in the lives of the future generations? The following are only a few suggestions for ways in which grandparents can naturally include the grandchildren in their lives. A. Assist the parents if possible when the new grandchildren arrive.

B. Visit at times on your own initiative. During these times take an active involvement with the children. 1. Holding them 2. Feeding them 3. Playing with them 4. Rocking them 5. Putting them to bed 6. Telling them a story 7. Praying with them

C. Take pictures of the children and pictures of you with the children. D. Take the grandchildren with you on trips, on outings, to the park or even shopping. E. Include your grandchildren in the everyday duties of life. F. Involve the older children in your prayer life. G. Let them spend the night with you occasionally.

H. Be willing to help the grandchildren with homework when you are aware of it. I. Tell the grandchildren stories of your day. Show them pictures of a generation ago to help broaden their thinking and world view. J. Help teach grandchildren to work with their hands by sharing crafts and skills (sewing, knitting, woodworking, drawing, painting, etc.).

K. If a grandparent has a real special activity like fishing, hunting, hiking, etc., why not take the grandchild with him or her? L. Help your grandchild with a special project.
