As I sit here I am amazed that my two year old is still asleep! She is starting to be more like her sissy and papa that way! So it gives me a little time to share!
Something that I am trying to be more consistent with is praying for my girls. Praying for there personalities, habits, hearts, even for their future spouses!!!Something that is very helpful is a calendar I put in my fridge:
31 Ways to Pray For Your Children
You can find it @ http://www.freemethodistchurch.org/Magazine/PDF%20Files/31-Days-Calendar-Color.PDF
I'll add it to my side bar!
It is a great way to keep all of the Characteristics that we desire our kids to have on our pray list! ( yes it's backed with scripture )
It also helps me keep my mind on these things that I am to be molding to my kids. Like today the 23rd is
FAITH - " I pray that faith will find root and grow in my children's hearts, that by faith they may gain what has been promised to them" ( Luke 17:5-6 Hebrews 11:1-40)
What an awesome reminder even for me that I need to show my children that I live in a relationship built on faith! How often do we communicate these things to our children. And I DO desire my children to live according to God's will for their life and that means I need to also!
JUST FOR FUN
OK moms! How many of us have laundry to do, houses to clean, meals to cook? I know I do! Make sure you take some time just to play with your kids! Even if its just 20 minutes! Especially for those of you who have children that start school next Tuesday! I just can't help but think ........ this is the last Summer my girls with be 6 & 2. It won't be the same next year! So I want to enjoy as much of this time as I can!
Have a Happy Joy filled Day!!!!
