Just now, at 5:30 am, a sleepy 3 year old comes stumbling out of her room and says,

“Will you rock me?”

She is here with me, snuggled under my arm while I type as she fights sleepiness.

It’s way too early for her to be up and I know I’ll pay for it later when the grumpies set in;

but I know it is all a part of it.

 I’ll take this few minutes and let her snuggle,

the rest of the day she will be wide open…

she’s a busy girl…

she has baby dolls to swing and messes to make.

I like the stillness of early morning, of snuggling…

I think this early morning is more for me than it is for her.

I would have missed out on this Kingdom building if we would have said,

“No, we can’t take these kids;

our house is too small,

we can’t afford it,

we’re too old,

we’re too busy.”

“I was hungry and you gave me food to eat.

I was thirsty and you gave me a drink.

I was a stranger and you welcomed me.

I was naked and you gave me clothes to wear.

I was sick and you took care of me.”

Matthew 25

Titus 2:3 says that we are to be "...teachers of good things...". We believe that part of these good things are practical skills that we all need in every day life to care for our family and neighbors. One of our primary responsibilities as parents is equip our children with the skills and tools to one day be productive, well rounded adults. Children need to be exposed to many different areas of work. Not only should they know how to work, but they should want to work. May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17
