Love Our Children

Good morning family. Baby Cory had a big day yesterday. He was so excited about his birthday. It warms my heart to see a child, any child happy about life. I am forever thankful for the gift of parenthood. God has graced us with the beauty of our children and so much more. It doesn't take much to raise healthy children, happy children, loving children. We just have to love them and treat them like our future depends on every breath they take. Parenting is not a competition, it's about completion. When we properly "sponsor" our children the world will see how much they are loved. The best gift anyone can give a child is the knowledge and understanding of God's word. Some may grow up and tuck it away in the hearts until they fall into a "season" of distress and hurt but once that knowledge is there, they'll always have it and come back to it. As I watched Cory interacting with his friends last night, I felt good inside because children should be filled with hope and joy. It's our job to help them balance their needs and wants. It's our job to help them understand blessings. We have to do this so they won't grow up worrying about not having everything, not having enough. We have to change what the "American Dream" has become and focus on what it used to be based on. Honesty, hard work, respect, love, support and wisdom based on what God set forth. Let's be honest, we've all been fooled by the "American Dream". We've lost sight and our consciousness is bankrupt. Me, I'm working on changing my approach, my understanding of life and how it should be lived. I have to be honest and tell you, I'm afraid to think of what our future will be like if we don't raise stronger-God-fearing children. TeamLoveOurChildren. Bblessedloveyou
