I Want My Kids to KNOW God!

As a parent, I’m trying the best that I can….

Though there are things that I don’t understand!

I remember my parents teaching me right and wrong.

And taught that God’s laws certainly belong!

I’ve tried to share these values with my kids too…

The choices they’ve made, and the things they do!

When situations in life, seem to have changed…

I know that my heavenly father remains the same!

I think about what in life, to my kids, I have given…

And pray they’ll serve God all the days they’re livin’!

Even though I’ve failed and stumbled along the way…

I hope I’ve taught my kids

 how important it is to pray!

This family that God gave to me,

 has grown over a period of time.

I’m thankful for the opportunity to call them “mine.”

I pray they’ll seek God’s guidance!

Wherever they go!

May the word of God strengthen

and nourish their soul!

And as my kids get older, and they move out on their own…

May they seek God’s love and protection over their home!

I pray that my children will give God their very best!

May they serve him daily! And let him take care of the rest!

I’m trying my best, as a parent, to trust Jesus and believe!

His goodness, in our lives, is what we need to achieve!
