Do You Trust Them to Him?
“You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead?
Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not!
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him." -Matthew 7:9-11
But let us remember that as much as WE love and want what's best for our children, our Father in Heaven wants that even more!
It is my hope that we will remember to pray over our children each day, and trust God to take care of them and keep them safe while they are in our care as well as in the care of others.
I hope you and your kiddos have a blessed day!

It's easy to want to hold on tightly to our kids sometimes. To shield them from hurt both physical and emotional. To worry about them endlessly when they are in the care of others (sometimes even when they're with loved ones!)
But let us remember that as much as WE love and want what's best for our children, our Father in Heaven wants that even more!
It is my hope that we will remember to pray over our children each day, and trust God to take care of them and keep them safe while they are in our care as well as in the care of others.

Beautifully said Stephanie! This is one of my most favorite verses!
One of my favorite books about that is Pray Big for Your Child by Will Davis Jr.
