Proverbs 22:6 Train children in the way they should go; when
they grow old, they won’t depart from it.
I’ve been watching the Olympics and am seeing much emphasis
placed upon the parents of the athletes.
Whole families have made tremendous sacrifices in order for this athlete
to train and compete at higher and higher levels. I enjoyed seeing tapes of some of the current
gymnastics team in the gym when they were very young girls. Think of the hours and hours their parents
spent on the road and of the money spent on training, costumes, travel and
entry fees. Most parents wouldn’t have
the resources to do this. Yet I think the ordinary can always be inspired by
the extraordinary. Wherever we are there is no greater calling for a parent
than to devote his or her self to the nurture of a child.
Heavenly
God, we ask your special blessings upon parents today. Give them strength and wisdom as they raise
their children. We also ask for your
care and protection of all neglected and abused children. Please bring them to
a place of safety and love. We ask in
the name of the one who did not deny children His presence. Amen.Blessings,
Paige
