A Grandchild’s Hand The promise for tomorrow

And the hopes of dreams come true….. A reminder of the childhood

That is still a part of you….. The wonder of a miracle

From which this love began….. There is so much found in the touch

Of a grandchild’s hand.

What gets applauded gets done.

What gets rewarded gets done.

EMPOWERMENT

Demonstrate Trust and Respect

Allow them to influence you

Provide decision-making opportunities

Instruct on What & Why

Place them at center of crisis

Make them visible

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

Welcome New Members: Charlotte Cook, Bear Creek Tabitha Johnson, Madison Roy Mass, Fort Mitchell Michael Mullen, Opp Deborah Thrasher, Gardendale New Students: Darlene Glaze, Valley Juniel Whitfield-Jones, Tuskegee William Marshall, Decatur

Blessed are they…

Blessed are they who understand My faltering step and shaking hand.

Blessed are they who know my ears today Must strain to hear the things they say.

Blessed are they who seem to know My eyes are dim and my answers slow.

Blessed are they who look away When my tea was spilled at the table today.

Blessed are they who with a cheery smile Will stop to chat for a little while.

Blessed are they who never say “You’ve told that story twice today.”

Blessed are they who know my ways And bring back memories of yesterdays.

Blessed are they who ease the days And care for me in loving ways.

Blessed are they who make it known I’m loved, respected and not alone.
