Teaching Kids to Pray

From the mundane to the serious, children have many needs to bring to God. But they may think their problem is too small for Him to care about or worry they won’t say the words just right.

The only problem is that you don’t have a box with a picture of the desired result on it.

Does God Actually Love Everyone?

The Strong-Willed Child

The Strong-Willed Child

My son is three years old. He is hilarious, busy, and has energy to fuel at least three other kids (or at least it seems that way)! He already has a very strong personality. He loves people, but he also loves the idea of being in charge.
