Empty Nest Vida

In this podcast we share insights on the power of words. Blessing or curses, words make a difference in your life. It is a God-given ability and power, to use words to make things happen. It starts in your mind, then you begin to declare it. Saying it is declaring it. When our Creator created the world, all He had to do was speak it and it came to existence.  So, we must be careful what we say about self and others. In the same principle, what others say about you is valid, so, we have the power to accept others words or decline them.  

Grandchildren bring so much happiness to our lives, it's indescribable.

The payoffs are going to be immeasurable. They are our legacy. Grandparent well.

Our children will replicate what we do, the blessings will pour on them as well.
