Parents, we are looking forward to a great 2010 with your kids. Here are some things that we would like to see happen this year in the lives of families, and we commit to partner with you to see them happen.
Here are five key things we want to work on with you this year.
1. We want to challenge you to imagine who you want your child to become. Not what you want them to do, but what you want them to become. God has a plan!
2. We want to help you fight for the heart of your child. Strong relationships are key – rules are needed, but relationships are what touch the heart. We want to help you build relationships with your children.
3. Make your faith personal. If you are not living your faith, it is hard to fake it for your kids. Live your faith, make it important to you. They will know your values by the way you are living them out. Take time to invest in your personal walk with God.
4. Create a rhythm of spiritual conversation. How do we make spiritual conversation a normal part of life at home? Mealtime, bedtime, at home or on the road how do you make spiritual conversation natural? We will email or send home a piece each week with talking points and suggestions that will help you as parents to create a natural rhythm in your home.
5. Widen the circle of influence around your kids. Parents need an ally. They need someone else speaking truths into their child’s life. We want to provide consistent, loving volunteers to build relationships with your kids, teach them God’s word and reinforce what you are teaching at home.
I pray this is the best year yet for you and your family!
Blessings,
Amy
