Food for Family Thought

We parents greatly influence how our children define success. You may not be the fastest swimmer, best gymnast, most creative author, or most popular movie star, but you can always be the person God created you to be. In God’s eyes, that’s how you spell success.

If, for just one day, you could be the most talented in the world at something—just to experience what it’s like to be so incredibly skilled at it—what would you choose?
