My youngest grandson moved into his university dorm room this past week. It seems almost impossible. I was in the hospital when he was born and held him in my arms a short time afterward. However, as time goes on, watching children and grandchildren grow may be one of its best measures.
I don’t know where you are on your spiritual journey, but if you are a child of God, you will have an innate spiritual desire to bring your children and grandchildren along that same pathway. A Christ-honoring upbringing and a spiritual family atmosphere make worthy advantages.

Remind Them of Their Spiritual Heritage
The apostle Paul told his follower Timothy: “I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you” (2 Tim. 1:5; NLT).
I still remember a plaque in my grandmother’s home. It read, “Only one life ‘twill soon be past. Only what’s done for Christ will last.” This truth spoke of both the spiritual heritage I inherited and the ongoing spiritual legacy imparted to me each time I visited.
Even if your spiritual walk began in the recent past, you can effectively witness of your spiritual transformation, challenges and changes. The book of James assures us that the consistent prayers of those made right in God’s sight are powerful and effective elements of our spiritual heritage (James 5:16). Our godly prayers can convey our spiritual desires and dreams for each member of our family, whether children or adults.
