Stay connected with grandchildren by blogging

I started a blog as an older grandparent, to express to my grandchildren my beliefs, and the family stories. This is a wonderful way to share with them, since everyone is so busy. They all have very little time. I try to add to my blog every Sunday. I currently am talking about miracles I have seen. This has been a journey for me. In pondering and thinking about miracles, I have come to appreciate the world so much more.

Expressing my thoughts has required I think about those I am writing for, and also those I am writing about. I try to write just two or three paragraphs and keep it to one subject, so that it isn’t too much reading at any one time.

Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children. ~Charles R. Swindoll

I still work, but we have 5 wonderful children, grown grandchildren and we now have one great grandchild. When I was growing up, I knew my grandparents, and one great grandmother, plus much more extended family. This is not so with the younger generations, so a blog is a great way to connect. I encourage other grandparents to jump in and blog too. It is work and takes some study, but get started and watch it grow as you grow and learn. My blog is rgkaiserfamily.com. Visitors are welcome!
