Hello friends of Grandparenting Through Obstacles! For today’s post, I’d like to let you know about two exciting announcements. The first is from our publisher, PixNPens Publishing.
To help celebrate the release of our book on August 17, they will be holding a special contest for grandparents going through a challenge of their own. As you know, our book discusses 4 different challenges that today’s grandparents face when it comes to sharing their faith with their grandkids:
–the challenge of parents not walking with God
–the challenge of long-distance grandparenting
–the challenge of non-traditional families
–the challenge of partnering with parents
PixNPens would like to hear about your challenge.
Here’s how to enter:
Write your own grandparenting challenge that you’ve dealt with in the past, or are currently dealing with. Share how you’ve handled the situation in a Christ-like manner, and if there’s already been a positive outcome, share that as well.
Keep your story at approximately 250 words, and then include a little bio about yourself at the end. You can include one or two photos if you wish, and if you have a link to a blog or website, you can include that too.
We’ll receive entries from now until August 15th, and then, beginning Monday, August 20th, we’ll post entries here on the blog through the end of September.
We’ll announce a winner (or perhaps even a few winners) in October!
One winner will receive a special gift basket just for grandparents that includes gift cards, books, and other goodies. Stay tuned for more details on that in the coming days.
Depending on the number of entries, we could also have several runner-up prizes, too.
Send your story to: tracyruckman@pixnpens.com
We look forward to reading your stories, and pray that they’ll help other grandparents who may be in similar circumstances as well.
