“Let’s not become discouraged in doing good, for in

due time we will reap, if we do not become weary.”

Galatians 6:9 (NASB)

Excerpt:
Mom, when you feel like you’re not getting through to your child, you are. When you feel like she isn’t seeing all you do, she is. When you feel like he isn’t paying attention to what you’re doing, he is. What you do is not in vain. Your child is taking it all in. A harvest is on the other side if you remain faithful, and it’s worth it.



Dear Lord, thank You for Your faithfulness and instruction. Help me not to become discouraged in doing good and to continue to be faithful. Help me to seek Your Truth in all things. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Wow this one really hit home! I especially liked this paragraph:

If you have a child with a very strong spirit, don’t be alarmed. Embrace it and be thankful, for it is that same strong nature that will enable him or her to stand up against peer pressure. It is that same strong temperament that will enable them to make wise decisions and make good choices. It is that same strong personality that will lead others and conquer obstacles that others only dream of conquering.
