I love kids. They radiate excitement for life. They willingly choose to learn and try new things. I marvel at the wonder in their eyes when they discover something for the first time. I bask in the joy they openly express.

Ahhh to stop and smell a rose! It’s a gorgeous sight and smell, isn’t it!?
One that might take your breath away! Have you ever wondered how those silky soft petals ever managed to come forth through all those thorns? Surrounded by jagged leaves and thousands of thorns, this tiny bud forms at the end of each living branch. 

God has given us the ministry of parenting , said by some to be a most honorable ministry. Whether to a natural child or a spiritual one the end results are the same as told in Proverbs 22:6 “ Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old , he will not depart from it .” Exercise what God has given you . The apostle Paul instructs us in Ephesians 2:10 “ For we are His workmanship , created in Christ Jesus for good works ,

which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them .”
