Christian parents:
Hope and fear and keep you near;
Laugh and cry and dry your eyes;
Remind and nag and drag you to church, Sunday School, youth group, church camp . . .
Read and pray and say “yes,” “no,” and “Hallelujah!”
Work and play and make your days wonderful;
Love with a love that never fails
And ALWAYS want the Best for you, their child:
A relationship with Jesus Christ that will last forever.
Is there anything I forgot? What would you, as a Christian parent or a child of Christian parents, add?
Forgive. When we are quick to forgive, we teach our children to forgive and not hold grudges.
I like that. A good addition!
Patience, patience, and more patience!
Are you mentioning that from your parents’ experiences with you or from your experiences with your daughter? I pray that we will have as much patience with others as God does with us.
Ha! I think both. Kaylan has a lot of my facial expressions and my gift of eye rolling. I know both drove my mother to the edge.
