Read: 2 Timothy 3:10-17

From childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures. -2 Timothy 3:15

A little boy described grandmothers like this: "A grandmother is a lady who has no
children of her own, so she loves everybody else’s. Grandmas don’t have to do anything but
be there. If they take you for a walk, they slow down past leaves and caterpillars….They
can answer questions like why dogs hate cats and why God isn’t married. When they read to
you they don’t skip parts or mind if it’s the same story again. Everyone should have a
grandmother because they are the only grown-ups who have time for you."

Timothy is a prime example of how a young life can be greatly influenced by a
grandmother, especially if she is a godly woman. He held a position of great
responsibility in leading the congregation at Ephesus.

It was a difficult assignment for a young man who was timid by nature. To help his
young proteg‚ stand firm, the apostle Paul reminded him of the faith of his
grandmother Lois (2 Tim. 1:5). It isn’t hard to imagine her playing with him when he was
little, teaching him Scripture passages, putting him to bed with hugs and kisses and
childlike prayers, and in the process nurturing the faith of her grandson.

God is a wise Father who knows how to help grandmothers – and all of us – to influence
young lives.

-Haddon W. Robinson
