Where this all leads
A new grandchild is a new soul to love and to pray toward Jesus. Your prayers can reach places and years you will never see. The greatest gift you can give this child is not money or advice but a grandparent who knows and loves the Lord, and who introduces them, by word and example, to the Savior.
