Raising children can be challenging. Our life and daily routine can become so overwhelming. The stress we carry from trying to balance the household and everyday life can build up and leave us with no room for our children who need a lot of attention. This weekend, while trying to rush my family of five out the door for church, my 5 year old daughter was asking for my help and I told her to just hurry up and don’t say anything. Our conversation turned into her screaming that I never ever help her and I replied by telling her she was ungrateful and to not ask me for anything else for the rest of the day. At service they played the song, “One Thing Remains” and I was quickly reminded how I treated my daughter.

 Think of a time in the past 48 hours that you’ve brushed off your child because you were “too busy” or “didn’t have enough time” to listen to them. Before bedtime, remind your child about how, even though life can seem hectic, your love will never fail, it will never give up, and it will never go out on them.
