Maybe you even have a child God is calling into His service and you're kind of standing in the way. We just dare not forget that our children are God's property trusted to us. We dare not hijack them from His service to be in ours. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/the-most-special-people-on-earth-6457 2011-10-11T10:31:38-05:00 Children teach us something about openness, simplicity, humility, and faith. They help us unmask and they are soft cement that can still be written on. They're so important! They're a life to be shaped. Take stock of who gets your best attention and remember that Jesus thinks the children are some of the most special people on earth. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/how-a-father-builds-a-son-6203 2010-10-20T11:51:28-05:00 You build a son by building up your son, by often helping him see the awesome thing God did when He created that boy. Even God the Father launched His Son into life with His public approval. How can you do any less for the son He's given you? http://peggiesplace.com/sitemap.htm 2010-04-21T13:45:18-05:00 New to Peggie's Place? Need navigation help to get around the massive Christian home?

Read a fun story and hide God's Word in your heart with the Key Verse of the day. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2019:13-15&version=NIV 2009-10-06T11:23:04-05:00 In Matthew, children are brought up to Jesus in order to be prayed over. The disciples try to rebuke those that are bringing the children before Jesus. Jesus then rebukes the disciples and says that the kingdom of God belongs to the children. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/security-checks-for-families-5827 2009-09-10T12:31:43-05:00 A selfish husband, a defiant wife, a rebellious child, a frustrating parent: they each bring things onto your family's flight that can bring it down. But we each can do our part to make our home a safe place to be, where people are built up, not torn down. We each have a position to play to bring love and encouragement and respect to the other members of our family whether they're doing it or not. Be sure you're not bringing things aboard that can hijack your family's happiness. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/Why-the-Kids-Are-Safe-5687 2008-10-30T15:22:26-05:00 Isn't it great to know that your safety and security has nothing to with your situation or your surroundings? Your safety depends on one thing and one thing alone - the watch care of your Father in heaven! http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/What-You-Bring-in-the-Door-5644 2008-08-29T10:17:50-05:00 In many ways you set a tone when you walk in the door and you'll probably have to live with that tone for hours to come. After a stressful day it's just human nature to walk in with a pretty self-focused mind set, carrying the garbage of the day, which we then proceed to dump all over our loved ones! But, wouldn't you like to put your name in our word for today? "________ returned home to bless his or her family." http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/Parent-Power-4648 2008-08-25T13:45:09-05:00 You tell them that you believe in them. Our kids need to know that. As a dad or a mom, we need to see the good points in our kids and praise them as often as we can for those good points. Express what we see in terms of their potential - what they could be. Not just their strong abilities, but their strong qualities like gentleness, and sensitivity, and leadership, a sense of humor, compassion.
