God has led those who are blessed to think about grandchildren to do so. 2 Samuel 7:4-17 explains God’s Word to David, “I will raise up your heir after you, sprung from your loins, and I will make his Kingdom firm.”
Every Catholic’s “Kingdom” is The Church Spoken Into Being by The Prophesied Son of God to His First Catholic Pope: “And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
Those who guide their thinking by focusing on “grandchildren” know that the most important thing we can leave them is the importance of God’s seven “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”: Baptism, Confession/Absolution, Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, and Healing, from those Ordained with Holy Orders from God.
That gives us purpose and direction. The best way to have the most “grandchildren” blessed with the “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” is to focus on getting them for ourselves! Psalm 132:12 is clear, “If your sons observe My covenant and My decrees, I shall teach them. Their sons, in turn, shall sit forever on your throne.”
May all be blessed to help our neighbors focus on getting those “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” so that all of us will be blessed with more “grandchildren”.
May all God’s “children” be that “grand”!
