We all want the very best for our children. We also may want them to succeed in areas where we didn’t…like Sports. But just because that “mini-me” looks like you, doesn’t mean he has any desire to be the football , basketball, or baseball star you weren’t back in the day. Pushing kids into activities they aren’t excited about will only exasperate and infuriate everyone. Each one of our children are unique individuals, with God- designed gifts, talents, and passions. By building on their strengths, we can foster what the Lord wants for them, rather than what we’d like to live vicariously through them.

Mark 10:14 ” When Jesus saw this, He was indignant. He said to them, ‘Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.’ ”
Jesus loved children…He loved all ages, from babies , to teenagers. And they loved Him back! That’s why the Disciples were always shooing away little ones from around His feet. The children were constantly clamoring for His attention, wanting to crawl up in His lap…drawn by His gentle and trusting ways. Waiting for a hug, a smile, and a kind word from Jesus. Maybe today…you too need a hug and a smile from your Savior…He’s waiting for you to climb up in His lap.
