Chapter five Learn to ride bike

 

Grandsons are said to be all play and no work. Send em' home when they get cranky, is how the saying goes. However, grandfather's should not miss out on the opportunity presented to them. They are not expected to discipline their grandsons and this opens up an avenue for a different kind of relationship. Grandsons often rely on their grandparents when thing are tense at home. Parents often rely on their parents to help raise their children in this confusing and complex world. Grandparents would do well not to squander the opportunity given to them.


You got this; I'm going to let go now




En español


Se dice que los nietos son todo juego y ningún trabajo. Envíalos a casa cuando se ponen de mal humor, es como dice el refrán. Sin embargo, los abuelos no deben perder la oportunidad que se les presenta. 
 No se espera que disciplinan a sus nietos y esto abre una vía para un tipo diferente de relación. Los nietos a menudo confían en sus abuelos cuando las cosas están tensas en casa. Los padres a menudo confían en sus padres para ayudar a criar a sus hijos en este mundo confuso y complejo. Los abuelos harían bien en no desperdiciar la oportunidad que se les da.


Tienes esto, lo voy a dejar ir ahora

Chapter seven MORAL AND SPIRITUAL BENCHMARKS

Image
  Our grandsons  need to see an example of good grandfathers being good  husbands , especially boys who have experienced a family break-up. When we do the work to build a strong marriage—the communication, the thoughtful gestures and so on—that creates powerful pictures for a grandson. Our grandsons need reference points, and usually, actions speak louder than words. Living a responsible lifestyle can impact our grandsons and their future children for generations. That’s the kind of power our example can have. A grandfather’s example really encompasses all aspects of life. But let me mention a few areas where we need to be intentional about modeling: En español  Nuestros nietos necesitan ver un ejemplo de buenos abuelos que son buenos esposos, especialmente los niños que han experimentado una ruptura familiar. Cuando hacemos el trabajo para construir un matrimonio fuerte, la comunicación, los gestos reflexivos, etc., eso crea imágenes poderosas para un nieto. Nuestro...

  When I was growing up My dad co-owned a bar and  there was  a jukebox in it.  the following  lyric that I modified slightly was from a group named the Hollies  their song use to be one of the favorites played all the time.   The road is long With many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where, who knows where But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my grandson …  So on we go His welfare is my concern No burden is he to bear We'll get there …  For I know He would not encumber me He ain't heavy, he's my Grandson …  If I'm laden at all I'm laden with sadness That everyone's heart Isn't filled with the gladness Of love for one another …  It's a long, long road From which there is no return While we're on the way to there Why not share? …  And the load Doesn't weigh me down at all He ain't heavy, he's my grandson …  He's my grandson He ain't heavy, he's my grandson en español Cuando era ni...

Chapter six developing a good relationship with grandsons

  Since we were once boys, we expect to have a natural relationship with our grandsons; we may be somewhat alike, and we are likely to enjoy some of the same activities. Still, we need to be intentional about building a close connection with our grandsons and raising them up as young men of character. We can help give them a healthy model of what it means to be a boy, a man, a father, and even a grandfather some day. Grandsons need a grandfather who is thinking about their future and taking action to prepare them for that future— Our grandsons need reference points, and usually, actions speak louder than words. Living a responsible lifestyle can impact our grandchildren and their children for generations. That’s the kind of power our example can have. A grandfather’s example really encompasses all aspects of life. But let me mention a few areas where we need to be intentional about modeling Try to keeping our  emotions check .
