During a season of life when grandmothers appear to lose so much--our hair, our health, even our pets--God gifts us with a child. We have another opportunity to view life through the eyes of a child, and as a result, each new day overflows with possibilities. This time around, we are not new moms, perched on the edge of a sometimes frightening and challenging path into the unknown. Now, we are life veterans. We bring wisdom, experience and a clear sense of what is important. A gift of time to a grandchild becomes a gift we give ourselves, and the season of grand parenting also ushers in a new stage of our personal journey with Jesus. Faith Footprints with My Grandchild provides inspirational Scriptures, devotional thoughts, and prayers for grandmothers, along with simple Christian lifestyle activities to do with a grandchild. Let your faithwalk leave footprints in the sand for your grandchild to follow. Better yet, walk beside your grandchild and grow in faith together.

Retells for beginning readers the Bible parable about the good Samaritan.

Author Dr. Mary Manz Simon writes a wonderful, and beautifully illustrated story of a little boy who packs his picnic basket with food and toys for play, smiling because he knows that God is with him through out the day. He knows that God will always provide for him as he shares his watermelon and sandwich with his friends. When it starts to rain, God will protect him, and his friends as they seek shelter under the umbrella. According to God''s words, "I will be with you always" (Matthew 28:20), the boy knows that God will always protect and answer his prayers.
