Handle With Care

Good afternoon family. Christmas Eve. Can't believe we're here but I'm excited for the babies. They've been planning and plotting for the last few weeks. Making Christmas list and really focusing on what they want. As I was making breakfast this morning I thought about all the choices children have today. From the type cereal they eat to the type shoes they wear. I don't know what kind of kid I would have been if I'd been presented with so much stuff. Probably severely damaged, who knows. I had cereal that had to have sugar added and got new shoes three times a year (back to school, Christmas and Easter). Before we present our children with their gifts this Christmas season, I hope everyone has reminded them that they are extremely blessed. We're living in fast times where everything is for sale, especially our children. We can't allow them to bought by commercials, celebrities, money, material things and their peers. I'm very thankful for the opportunity to help give our grands a nice Christmas but I'm most thankful for being able to hold real conversations with them about life. That's the true gift. While you have the chance, while you have their attention drop some knowledge on them. Ask them what their goals are, ask them what Christmas means to them and remind them that gifts/money/people are not the key to true happiness. There is so much more to life. God has blessed us and entrusted us with these precious beings. Handle with care and remember, a good parent is not defined by how much they give, a good parent is defined by how much they love.
