GRANDPARENTS ARE UNITING IN PRAYER ON GRANDPARENTS’ DAY The Power of United Prayer

It is a global reality that truth is under attack like never before in our schools, our political arenas, the marketplace, and even in our churches. Christianity is under assault, and parents and grandparents find themselves involved in a tug of war for the hearts and minds of their children. It is not easy for our grandchildren to navigate in this post-Christian culture. Satan is relentless in his aggressive attack to desensitize our children to truth and righteousness.
This is a spiritual battle requiring spiritual weapons. Our grandchildren and their parents not only need our support, they need our earnest prayers. They need our united prayer, a genuine, unified prayer for our hope and dreams for the next generation to be realized. Jesus declared, “Again I say to you, that if two believers on earth agree [that is, are of one mind, in harmony] about anything that they ask [within the will of God], it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in My name [meeting together as My followers], I am there among them” (Matt. 18:19-20).
Christian Grandparenting Network (CGN) is claiming National Grandparents’ Day on September 9, 2018 as a Grandparents’ Day of Prayer. We believe the battle for the hearts and minds of our dear grandchildren and their parents can be won only by praying grandparents who sense the urgency and unite to do battle in prayer.
In the past, united prayer has always bridged the gap between a great need and a great awakening! Our grandchildren and their parents urgently need our unified prayers. Let’s be a community of grandparents uniting in prayer for our families.
CGN would like to invite all praying grandparents to join us to come before God’s throne of grace, to obtain mercy and find grace in our time of need for our grandchildren and their parents.
You can get involved in one of two ways.  You can commit to 30 days of prayer on behalf of your grandchildren, or you can volunteer to organize and host a GDOP event.  Scroll down the page for details.

Boost long-term health with balance training-By Micah Dorfner

Incorporating balance training into your fitness routine can improve exercise performance, and help prevent falls and injuries. “Balance training improves your body’s ability to react quickly to everyday missteps, which, in turn, helps prevent falls,” says  Paul Winey , a Mayo Clinic Health System physician assistant. “Improved performance and injury prevention can also be significantly influenced with balance training during exercise.” Whether you’re standing, kneeling, sitting or squatting, balance refers to the ability to stay upright and steady. Several sensory systems in your body contribute to good balance, explains Winey. Your vision, inner ear and joint receptors provide a sense of where your body is in space. The neuromuscular system synthesizes this information to give you the stability you need to keep your body upright, with your weight evenly distributed. Winey suggests these techniques to incorporate balance activities into your day: Change your base of supp...
