Food for Family Thought
From time to time our children will feel overwhelmed as they take on new and expanding challenges. You can help them--in word and example--to understand that while it’s important to keep an eye on the end goal, the way to get there is to ask God for help and to simply do the next thing right in front of you.
If you knew that you could become the best in the world at any one skill, but that it would take fifteen years of studying and/or practicing hard to get to that level, toward what goal would you be willing to dedicate yourself so completely?
