Have you hugged your children today? Have you told them how special they are and how much you love them?. Dr. Cecil Osborne writes, “How desperately the growing child needs praise, recognition, affirmation. These are aspects of love. . . . Perhaps once in a hundred years a person may be ruined by excessive praise, but surely once every minute someone dies inside for lack of it.”
“The words of the godly are a life-giving fountain… The words of the godly encourage many.”
— Proverbs 10:11, 21 (NLT)
Lord Jesus, help my words to be encouraging and life-giving, especially to my children. In Your holy name I pray, amen.
