January 16, 2014 meeting

What a wonderful meeting we had today!  Thank you to Keri Collins for giving us great tips on being Godly moms.  It was such an inspirational meeting and we all left with a list of ways to be "mom of the year in God's eyes."

Verse to remember: James 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."

-learn from your parents - both good and bad

-always take time for your children and their interests

-nurture your faith journey and let your kids see you read your Bible, pray, etc.

-pray daily for your children

-work to create a special bond so they know that they can tell you anything

-model Christ-like behaviors - they are always listening!

-be involved in their lives and know their friends, interests, etc.

-don't close your eyes as to what is going on with your child and don't back away from those hard conversations

-find a friend and prayer partner to share with

-tell them you love them all of the time, not just when they do something praiseworthy

-help them develop their own relationship with God (buy devotional books, etc)

-take time for yourself!
