Gifts From God

Children are a gift from God! They are tiny packages filled with tremendous potential, given to bring great blessing - as well as a challenge here and there! God gives them to us, not to be possessed or controlled, but to be loved and nurtured.
Each little bundle is created with the greatest care in the mother's womb, woven carefully in God's own image. No two children are exactly alike. Each child has a distinct and unique personality with strengths and weaknesses, gifts and abilities, desires and dreams to be nutured and molded with love, discipline, and instruction. God has a perfect plan for each child's life - a future with purpose and hope.
Just as proper nutrition is needed for children to develop strong and healthy bodies, the pure milk of God's Word is vital to nourish the heart and character of every child. And God uses a parent's love not only to teach and instruct but also to wrap a child's heart with the warmth of comfort, protection, and blessing.

"Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good." 1 Peter 2:2-3 NIV
