The Important Things in Life.

Sometimes people focus so much material things and forget what their children really need.  Time, love, reading books, nature walks, tea parties, prayer time and so on.  Children are much more happy and will love and respect the friendship of a parent who puposes to truly invest in them and spend time getting to know who they really are.  Enjoy your children.  Make special times with them everyday and don't let anything else take that place.  Will and I have several things that we try to do with the children to show them how much we love them and to train them in the way of the Lord. 

Will tucks the children into bed each night, lets them pray, then prays over them.  I like to go in too, but a lot of times I just let him.  This is a very special time between he and the children.  He prays that God would protect them, that He would raise them up to have a love and desire for Jesus, the God would give us wisdom to train them in the way they should go, and that He would protect them from falling into the sins that Will and I have struggled with in the past.  Our desire is that they would become mighty warriors of God and Godly ladies for Christ.

I love the photo of your dh with the child. That is so sweet. I totally agree that everyday we need to spend some quality time with our children. They grow up too fast.

YES! What a beautiful post....and a great picture too!

My husband also puts our children to bed at night and prays with them. At one time I felt guilty that I wasn't a part of it, but then I realized that I get lots of special moments throughout the day while he is at work. This is one of their special times together =)
