The Most Common Parenting Pitfall
Don’t get caught up in the most common pitfall parents get into, which is living vicariously through your child. God gave them to you to parent, but He gave them unique gifts and a calling specifically for them.
Thankful People Are Happy People
The happiest people in the world are thankful people!
Have you ever given a gift to someone who didn’t seem to appreciate it? They just kind of opened it, looked at it for a minute, mumbled a quick, “Thank you” and then set it aside. There was no real heartfelt thanks. All the hours you spent shopping for the “perfect gift” ended up not meaning anything to them at all.
Busy Enjoying Life
Did you know God wants you to enjoy your life so much today that you don’t even have time to think about yesterday? He wants you to be so thankful for what you have right now that you don’t think about what you don’t have.
Obedience is Better than Sacrifice
Obedience is real important to God, and He attaches a lot of benefits to it. Job 36:11 (MEV) says, “If they obey and serve Him, they will spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasure.” I don’t know of a better scripture to make into a bumper sticker and have plastered on the back of car or stuck on a refrigerator!
Here’s What God Says About Your Family

Do You Tell Your Child This?
As parents, it can be easy to get caught up in telling our children what they are doing wrong and neglecting telling them what they are doing right.

Keep Your Heart Pure
If we want to live successful lives, we need to keep our hearts pure and our motives right.
Have you ever heard someone say with false humility, “Well, I’m probably not as talented as he is”? But in reality, they know they’re just as talented if not more. What they’re really doing is fishing for a compliment. They want to hear you say, “Oh, but you’re much more talented than he is!”
God is the Ultimate Planner
Do you know God will help direct you in all of your plans? That means your college plans, marriage plans, family plans, business plans, and even vacation plans.
God Wants to do Life With You!
The book of Proverbs is filled with practical tips and instructions for everyday living on topics that range from how to treat your neighbor, to how to train your kids, to how to handle your finances and have a good work ethic.
However, although the Bible is filled with natural, practical things that we are responsible to do, we must not forget that God is always ready to come alongside and help us.
