It’s easy to think that as a grandparent, your job is now done. Your only job is to make sure your grandchildren are happy because they have parents of their own. But Grandparents still have a role to play in each of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren’s lives. There is great importance of grandparents in both their children and grandchildren’s lives. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he sheds some light on the importance and role of grandparents in his message, Ode To Grandparents.
Philippians 1:21–26

Proverbs 22:6
Importance of Grandparents
We pay homage to our grandparents, especially today. It’s easy to overlook grandparents and the role they play in our lives. In, Ode To Grandparents, Reverend Kenny Yates explained that grandparents have great influence in their descendants’ lives. Look at how important grandparents/ancestors are in the Bible.
8 You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 9 You shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 10 but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Deuteronomy 5:8-10
6 And He said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
Exodus 3:6
7 Did you not, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend?
2 Chronicles 20:7
6 Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.
Proverbs 17:6
What we do today affects not only those around us now but those of our descendants in the future. If Abraham had never believed God or listened to Him, the Jews wouldn’t be chosen today. Never forget that your life is of great importance to more than just you, but to all who will come in contact with you.
