Jesus Visions

Christian Gift Guide for Grandma (What a Grandmother Actually Keeps)

Jesus looks toward you with compassion just after sunset, a small oil lamp burning beside him.

Grandmothers keep everything the family gives them and use very little of it. Here is a short list of the gifts they actually keep and replay.

What grandmothers of faith keep

  • A recording of a grandchild praying.
  • A photo of the family in a frame.
  • A short film that says the grandchildren's names.

Our three picks

  1. A Message From Jesus - a short film that names her grandchildren and says a plain blessing over them. Grandmothers watch this one back weekly.
  2. A Photo Film for Her - we draw a portrait of a grandchild in the evening light of our series, in a short film with Jesus's voice.
  3. A Prayer Film for Her - a short prayer over the family's names. For the grandmother who prays for every grandchild by name at bedtime.

When to send it

  • Her birthday, a milestone one especially.
  • Grandparents' Day.
  • The Christmas after a grandchild was born.
  • The Sunday after she lost her husband.

A short reading to leave with the gift

Print the love letter from Jesus, write her name at the top, and put it inside the card.
