For their own good, I pray my children make up their minds to walk with You and follow Your plan! Eph 1:11

May Your word become a guide for my children so that when they read ‘let every man be quick to hear, ready to listen, slow to speak, slow to take offense and to get angry’ they take it to heart and implement Your wisdom! James 1:19
