Esther C:12,

Matthew
7:7-12
“If you…..know how to give good gifts
to your children…”
Children
tend to soak up everything we give them.
Be it fear or faith, trauma or comfort, loss or joy…whatever goes in
tends to stay with them. As adults,
parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, we have a responsibility to shape
their experiences in positive ways. The
almost complete dependency of children on the world around them is one of the
reasons Jesus is always so protective of them in the gospels, and also why they
are of used in scripture as examples of faith and trust. So whether we are nurturing them or imitating
them in our relationship with God, may we never forget their importance.
