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. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/How-to-Hold-Your-Child-4705 2008-08-21T17:04:38-05:00 We tend to forget that a child is a trust from God; a gift He's given us to help care for, provide for, and develop. But they belong to Him, not to us. So a mom or dad who parents by God's design understands the power of these simple words: love them deeply, but hold them loosely. http://shop5.gospelcom.net/epages/FaithAlive.storefront/en/Catalog/1490?utm_source=Gospelcom&utm_medium=Bookmark 2008-07-30T12:34:06-05:00 Kid Connection is a new K-6 curriculum from Faith Alive Christian Resources designed to meet the unique needs of small Sunday schools and midweek programs.
