Through the survey on my regular grandparents raising grandchildren's website, one of the questions is about positive experiences grandparents have. I have been impressed by the number of grandparents who share about the strength they get from their Faith. Sometimes they are referring to the church they belong to and the support they get from their fellow church members. Sometimes they are referring to the faith they have in God and the power he has in their lives. Sometimes grandparents express their feelings about their spiritual connections to God or the Divine power in their lives.
I very much believe in the power of Faith. I very much believe that the Christ Spirit, the Divine Spirit, God, or however one might describe their believe in God can bring great comfort and guidance into our lives. Many grandparents face tremendous challenges in their lives, and the connection to a Divine presence can bring direction to their thoughts, peace in their hearts, and perhaps even true miracles. Sometimes comfort comes simply by having the faith that the path we are on is for a reason, even when we do not understand why.
