I’m So Excited — Are You?
Jesus pointed out that we need to be like little children — not by being irresponsible, but of waking each day with excitement and enthusiasm about the potential that this day may hold — being filled with “I’m so excited” joy and with the expectation that “Something good is going to happen today!” I think…
The Greatest Gift We Give Our Children
In my post, yesterday, I urged parents to cultivate the talents, giftings and abilities of their children.

Back in those early…
