The Word, my favorite three-year-old, coffee and mid-morning sun. It couldn't have been better...what a gift!
Every single day we get gifts from God above. Sometimes/most of the time we are too busy to recognize them. Gifts that are hidden in the normal everyday-ness of our lives. Can you find them?
As parents we can get caught up in the world's culture that parenting is hard. But hard doesn't mean it's bad. Yes, we are raising our babies without a village, yes, we are raising babies with working grandparents or broken networks of families.... that's tough. But I reckon we are starting to believe the lie of the world that leads us to focus solely on ourselves. Me me me and more me!
It's time to take a look at what we are believing about our kids and parenting, what the Word says and how we can apply it to our lives.
"“Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.”
- Ps 127:3
As Charlie sat across the table from me, she looked up at me and smiled and said what she always says, "I like to go by you mum". Which means she goes wherever I go. I love this.... what a true gift from heaven!
