I ran across a packet of copied info an old friend had given me several years ago from a book entitled A Gift from God by Larry Mercer (I have not read the book so I can't recommend it - yet).  I was busy with Pickles the toddler and Pumpkin the infant at the time so I glanced at it and said "thank you" and then tucked it away.  Well, I found it today while cleaning out some files for the end of the school year and I thought it would be a good bloggy reminder to pray for the children, in a particular and scriptural way.

So, join me every Wednesday for Praying for the Children, a short, simple and scriptual reminder to pray specifically for your arrows.

Willingness to Listen

"Hear, my son, your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching; indeed, they are a graceful wreath to  your head and ornaments about your neck."    Proverbs 1:8-9

Lord, please enable our children to develop a willingness to listen to our instruction as parents.
