My children have talent and God requires them to use it. They will not spend precious time strengthening the talents they want rather than the ones they already have.  1 Corinthians 12:11 

As my children charge through their day and face the many battles waiting for them outside our door (and in their own hearts) make Your presence known. Let them know You have their back so they may confidently traverse the path You have set before them. Deuteronomy 20:1

My children have made a difference in my life, just be being who they are. Help them make a lasting difference in the lives they touch. Develop their character… help them become the kind of people who put others first and fight for truth. Let their lives be an example for others… even after they…

I pray my children’s lives become a conduit to bring your love and purpose to fruition in the lives of those around them. Give me the wisdom to cleverly get your Word into them until the day they begin to crave time alone with you… and that time will come! Isa 55:10-11

Do not let my children develop an attitude of superiority. You created them to carry the burdens of others… and their load will require assistance, too. Let them receive the understanding and concept of teamwork and allow themselves to need help. The people You then place alongside them will take their breath away! 1Ki 10:20

Sometimes when my children are experiencing a season of loss … they forget the good stuff. Their own loss hardens them to the plight of others as well as their own blessings. Their happiness will never come from getting what they want, but only through gratitude for what they already have. Please remind them today…
