My "Nursing Moms" Bible Study Leader (all of us were either pregnant or had a new-born) from Bethesda sent this to me and I found it really helpful! I hope that all of you moms, grandmoms, and future moms enjoy it. :)
HOW TO LOVE YOUR CHILDREN
AND LET THEM KNOW IT
Most of us love our children, but that is not the issue. The issue is do your children feel loved?
We love our children by:
1. Entering into their world (note the example of Christ – Phil 2:5-11
2. Loving our mate (Eph. 5”25, 33; Tit. 2:4)
3. Giving them discipline (Prov. 13:24; 17:10; 20:15)
4. Looking at them ( Prov. 20:17)
5. Touching them (Eccles. 3:5)
6. Spending time with them (Deut. 6:7)
7. Listening to them (James 1:10)
8. Being courteous (respectful) to them (Matt. 7:12
9. Having fun with them (Prov. 15:13, 17:22; Eccles. 3:4)
10. Letting them go and develop wings (Eccles. 3:6)
11. Admitting when you are wrong (James 5:16)
12. Introducing them to the Perfect Parent (John 1:12)
