Reflection:  Blessing

Children are a gift from God. They really are. It is such a privilege to be given these little ones to care for, nurture, protect and teach. I don’t mean to say that it is easy! From hours of pacing in the early morning, to dealing with the heartache of falling out with your teenager and every moment in between – parenting is hard. But it is a privilege and a blessing. What is the biggest gift I can give them? That they would know and love Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. For all of us who are parents, that is our prayer.

Question:  How can you encourage your kids to know and love Jesus today?  If you don’t have children, how can you encourage a family that you know?

Prayer:  Gracious God, thank you for the blessing that children are. I pray that the children in my life would always know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
