Oh, this grandma's heart is breaking as I read this post! Surely, this is a situation in which reliance upon the GOODNESS of God will be a deep comfort, albeit bittersweet. Be comforted that your grandchildren KNOW you--the real you. They have felt your love and experienced your closeness throughout all their lives up to this point. I'm sure it will be confusing to them to hear things said about you that do not comport with what they know to be true, but take heart--that may be the very thing God uses to guard their hearts against the destructive falsehoods of atheism. It is my prayer that your relationship with the children will continue undeterred and that God would guard and protect their minds and hearts against the falsehoods that they are being exposed to. I pray, too, that the children, along with both parents, would be brought to faith in Christ and life everlasting through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Trust the past to God's mercy, the present to God's love and the future to God's providence." - St. Augustine
