Day 2: Pray for Courage: and encourage them
This year, instead of after-the-fact encouragement, let’s launch our kids into their days filled with courage to face whatever they will bring.
Praying your kids through their first week of school. Day 1: Pray for influence
The most powerful influencers in our schools should not be kids who don’t care, the kids who curse, and the kids who bully. They should be the ones who stand up for and model what is good and godly.
Because I said so… and other good reasons not to get baptized.
I heard it my fair share of times when I was young: Because I said so, that’s why. After all, she was my mom. If she told me to do the dishes, I did the dishes. If she told me to fold laundry, I folded laundry. If she told me to vacuum the living room carpet, I did.
Nathan got baptized yesterday!
