COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Dec. 16 /Christian Newswire/ -- Grandparents eager to nurture their grandkids have found an ally in Colorado Springs based, Christian Grandparenting Network (CGN) when the ministry launched its initiative to teach grandparents how to intentionally bless their grandkids.

"There are few things that are as powerful and meaningful as a blessing," says Cavin Harper, Founder and Executive Director of CGN. "A grandparent's blessing encourages and builds up kids' strength in Christ."

Harper shares what he considers to be a good blessing recipe: "Start by affirming the children; communicate your belief that they have a good future; and then be actively committed to them." Blessings can vary in content and they can change as a child gets older. A blessing can be spoken both over an entire family and for each individual grandchild.

Resources to teach "How to Bless Your Grandkids" are available on the CGN website. Harper states "Not only is 'How to Bless Your Grandkids' a treasure trove of helpful information, it is an excellent topic for a Bible Study, Sunday School class or small group discussion."

CGN understands that the grandparent's role is important in raising up the next generation. The ministry provides numerous resources to help make every moment of a grandparent's nurturing count.

"It doesn't matter whether the grandkids are just a few months old or already planning their own families, the time to begin is now." Harper emphasizes, "Just do it! It is never too late to start, but it is always too soon to delay."
