Tonight in our Bible reading we read about slowing down and taking time to be with our daughters and sons while they are young. Take time to show them Jesus in your life. Take time to develop communication and love so they know that there is unconditional love for them in your home. I know for me that is very important. As a teen I remember the worst treatment my mom could give me was the silent treatment. She would ignore me for a period of time. Even if I shouted at her, she didn't respond to me. It was so hurtful and painful. I never want to do that to my kids. I also want them to know that they are loved.....so I tell them. Some people have a difficult time telling someone else they love them. I don't understand that because I am vocal about that. God shows us never-ending love, forgiveness , mercy and never refuses to respond to us. He might not respond the way we want him to respond, but he doesn't ignore us nor forget us. It's such a peaceful feeling to know that God is always there for us whenever we need Him. I hope and pray that I can fill my children with the love of God so that when they are older, they will know the way to go. Blessings to you until next time.
