Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman This is a poignant reminder to daddys to spend time with their precious girls. You may access this video on www.youtube.com. NEVER STOP MAKING PANCAKES Six -year-old Brandon decided one Saturday morning to fix his parents pancakes. He found a big bowl and spoon, pulled a chair to the counter, opened the cupboard and pulled out the heavy flour canister, spilling it on the floor. He scooped some of the flour into the bowl with his hands, mixed in most of a cup of milk and added some sugar, leaving a floury trail on the floor which by now had a few tracks left by his kitten. Brandon was covered with flour and getting frustrated.. He wanted this to be something very good for Mom and Dad, but it was getting very bad. He didn't know what to do next, whether to put it all into the oven or on the stove and he didn't know how the stove worked! Suddenly he saw his kitten licking from the bowl of mix and reached to push her away, knocking the egg carton to the floor.. Frantically he tried to clean up this monumental mess but slipped on the eggs, getting his pyjamas white and sticky. And just then he saw Dad standing at the door. Big crocodile tears welled up in Brandon 's eyes.. All he'd wanted to do was something good, but he'd made a terrible mess. He was sure a scolding was coming, maybe even a spanking. But his father just watched him. Then, walking through the mess, he picked up his crying son, hugged him and loved him, getting his own pyjamas white and sticky in the process! That's how God deals with us.. We try to do something good in life, but it turns into a mess. Our marriage gets all sticky or we insult a friend, or we can't stand our job, or our health goes sour. Sometimes we just stand there in tears because we can't think of anything else to do. That's when God picks us up and loves us and forgives us, even though some of our mess gets all over Him. But just because we might mess up, we can't stop trying to "make pancakes" for God or for others. Sooner or later we'll get it right, and then they'll be glad we tried. NEVER stop "making pancakes!!" The Price of Children
Love & enjoy your children & grandchildren & great-grandchildren!
parenttalk -from Gospel Light Sunday school curriculum for 2-3 year olds every passing day We all want to pass our values on to our children. We want them to grow in understanding of who God is. But there are so many things to do! Nearly every moment seems to be taken up with feeding, bathing, transporting and tending our kids. Who was extra time (or extra energy) to teach them about God? First, remember that we are teaching children about our values every minute of every day. Our reaction to any situation - the irritating store clerk, a child's skinned knee, the broken dishwasher - all powerfully teach our children something. Planned teaching times have far less impact on young children than what they wee and hear from us as we live our lives! Here are a few simple ways to pass on your faith in those busy moments. v Riding in the car or walking to the park provides the perfect opportunity to play simple games. "Let's look for things God made that are yellow." After you've worked together to spot as many things as you can, comment, "Thank You, God, for making yellow!" Or ask, "What things did God make that are wet?" Then say a brief prayer to thank God for water. v As you drive, give baths or pick up toys, it's easy to sing simple songs that will remind you and your child of God's love. (If your child does not yet have a CD or cassette of Sunday school songs, you can easily get one at a Bible bookstore or a discount store, like Wal-Mart or Target). You are the most powerful teacher your child will ever have. Ask god to help you use that power wisely! familytalk -- from Gospel Light Sunday school curriculum for 2-3 and 4-5 year olds As you water a plant, invite your child to help you. Ask: What color is this plant? What are some other things God made that grow? Things to talk about: What are some ways we use water? What is your favorite place we go where there is water? Words to pray together:
