Perspective

I pray today for proper perspective - not that they are the most important person in the world, but that they are their own best teacher.  They will turn out to be what they see themselves as.  May they aspire to be kind, nice, and influential for good, rather than rich, powerful, and popular.  May they not see their world as unfair, but instead decide how to live in light of their circumstances.

Back at it.

Holidays are over and I am once again sitting watching for the bus.  I hope this Christmas you were able to spend time with some of the children you are praying for.

I read a great verse in Titus today, prompted by the mom's prayer guide (humility was the word of the day) - Titus 3:2 says "... to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone."  Wouldn't it be wonderful if that characterized all our children?  That's what I'm praying today.
