For the Family: Grandma Got It Right

January 5, 2016

When my first child was born, I watched as her paternal great-grandmother first held her. Grandma Ginny’s face beamed at our precious tiny bundle wrapped in a fluffy hand-crocheted blanket. And I saw the generations fold inward, matriarch to newborn, so thankful for the legacy of love that Grandma had begun 60 years before.

For the Family: Grandma Got It Right

But then the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, and I discovered this parenting thing? It’s really hard. With just one child, I was in tears most days from pure exhaustion. How in the world did Grandma have five kids? What did she know that I didn’t?

I’ve figured out over the years that I wasn’t doing motherhood wrong, nor did Grandma necessarily do it more right than me. But I do think she had a few things figured out that our generation has lost sight of. Join me today on For the Family, where we’re hosting this week’s devotion: Grandma Got It Right: What Modern Moms Can Learn from the Silent Generation. I hope it encourages you as much as Grandma Ginny inspired me.

As always, thank you so much for reading. We’re in this mom thing together.

Blessings,
Becky
