Work has been hard. Family has been going in hundreds of different directions. Just craziness. That is why I am so excited about this long weekend.
I want this opportunity to take things really slowly. Spend time with each of my children individually and have some time to really talk.
It seems like all of our conversations lately have been: “Is your room clean?” “Do you have everything you need for the game?” “Is your homework done?” Nothing that really gets to the heart of them and how they are feeling.
I want to know where they are in their Christian life. How is their walk with God? Are they actively seeking him? Is He a real part of their life and decision making process?
We can’t be afraid to have these conversations with our children. They are some of the most important ones that parents can initiate. We are their guides in this part of their Spiritual journey and we can’t guide them if we don’t know where they are and what they are feeling.
We absolutely can’t put these talks off. Our children need us and need to know that we care about what is going on with them, and most importantly, that we believe that their relationship with God is critical. They need that grounding and they need it from us. Let’s make sure they get it.
