Annie's "Grandparent's Day" Welcome Page


"Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest
thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest
they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but
teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;"
~Deuteronomy 4:9~

Grandparents Day is Sunday September 13th, 2009

Let's look at the History of "Grandparents Day":

"The impetus for a National Grandparents Day originated with Marian McQuade, a housewife in Fayette County, West Virginia. Her primary motivation was to champion the cause of lonely elderly in nursing homes. She also hoped to persuade grandchildren to tap the wisdom and heritage their grandparents could provide. President Jimmy Carter, in 1978, proclaimed that National Grandparents Day would be celebrated every year
on the first Sunday after Labor Day."

There is no doubt at all! Grandparents are indeed a blessing from the Lord! They bring special memories to our minds and hearts. What a wonderful gift Grandparents are. Not just to the Grandkids but to the parents too!
