Dear Parents, every child is a gift from the Lord, and unique in his purpose for the Kingdom. Children can touch the lives of others unlike any other person. Children show us the Lord in many ways, if we will stop to notice. Scripture even calls us to become like little children in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Since the lord created every child unique, not all children learn the same way. It is important that we, as mature adults, embrace those differences in order to expand their knowledge of God. The Lord pursues each child with tender love. The most important thing you as a parent can do is spend time with your children, modeling your trust in the Lord.
