I Want To Be Like Lois

2Ti 1:5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF A GRANDMOTHER?


The role of a Grandmother is to sing sweet songs, read cute stories, change diapers and rock the baby to sleep. Wait a minute, hold on....that's not exactly correct, it's o.k. to do those things, but there's more to being a Grandmother than that!

I'm new at the Grandmother business, but I can tell you I'm loving it! Emma was born January 14th. Even though we have a long distance relationship (across the ocean), Emma and I (Nanny) have developed quiet a bond even at this early date. Skype and the internet is a wonderful thing, thank you Lord for such blessings. How quickly this bundle of pink skin, blue eyes and giggles has completely stolen my heart and her Grandpa Randy's as well.

In II Timothy, Lois set an exemplary model for us to follow. You might think the mass of miles and the ocean between Emma and I might present a hinderance to me performing my God given responsibilities as a Grandmother. Next to my computer I have a stack of Bible story books I have already begun to read to Emma, she has heard "Jesus Loves Me", since she was only a few days old and other children's gospel songs and I have my Bible on the shelf just above by computer. It's my intention with God's grace to do every thing I can to introduce Emma to Jesus, the One who so wonderfully knit her inside her Mother's womb. Yes, I want to be like Lois, pray for me as I travel this new adventure in life as Emma's Grandmother and any other grand children God may give me in the future.

I would challenge every Grandmother to be more like Lois in II Timothy.
