As we continue to pray for the community that will surround Ember and be a support network for her throughout her life, I (Lauren) remember how important extended family was to me when I was growing up. Today, I am specifically talking about grandparents. My grandparents always made me feel loved. They may have spoiled me a little bit, but they always made me feel special. They would help my parents out by buying things that we needed. My dad's parents, always bought us much needed clothes and gave us money for school trips, and my mom's parents would often bring us dinner and a couple gallons of milk when they came to visit. I was very blessed to have both sets of grandparents involved in my life, and I want the same thing for my daughter. I think grandparents play a key role in supporting and encouraging children and providing the kind of community in which they can succeed. So, today, I want to pray for Ember's grandparents.
Father, we thank You for our parents, and we pray that they will be actively involved in the life of our daughter. Lord, we ask that You would help them to be good and wise examples for Ember and show Your agape love to her. May they realize the important role that they play in the lives of their grandchildren and always look to You for the wisdom to fill that role. This we pray as we await the arrival of our precious gift, Ember Faith.
