A few good words from around blogdom today...From John Piper at Desiring God- An Encouragement and Precaution for Parents
From Carolyn Mahaney at Girl Talk- Pay Attention
And this, our prayer for our children, from Psalm 144:12-
Let our sons in their youth be as grown-up plants,
And our daughters as corner pillars fasioned as for a palace.
Or, as Matthew Henry comments,
"To see them as plants, not as weeds, not as thorns; to see them as plants growing, not withered and blasted; to see them likely to bring forth fruit unto God in their day; to see them in their youth growing strong in the Spirit."
