Five Things I'd Like My Children to Know

Karen tagged me with this meme about a month ago. I’ve put it off due to lack of time for one. The other reason is how do I put into five thoughts all the things that I want my kids to know before they grow up?

Here are the Meme instructions:

"I've been thinking lots about the things that I want my kids to know before "they grow up" and thought this is a good thing to meme on...

So the meme challenge is...

Those tagged will share 5 Things You Want Your Kids To Know "Before They Grow Up"

Those tagged will tag 5 people.

Those tagged will leave a link to their meme in the comments section of Claire's post so everyone can keep track of what's being posted.

So let the sharing of wisdom and tagging begin!

PS you DONT have to have kids to do this... "


That being said, here’s my list. Actually, I think they already know these things but I want them to remember them for the rest of their lives.

1. That I love them with all my heart, no matter what, always and forever.


2. That God loves them even more than I do.


3. That God will be with them even when I can’t.


4. That He is faithful and true.


5. That they would learn to see beyond today and beyond themselves.


Let me know if you decide to join in on this tag or if you've already done it. I'd love to read your list.

Very well put, Karen.
It seems that since school began, everyone is crazy busy!
Thinking of you and hoping that all is well with you and your family.

Love your list. Simple, straightforward, and wonderful things for our kids to really "know'.
I think I will play along later.

Great list, Karen. Yeah, I'm working on #5 for ME, too! Sometimes today seems so overwhelming and I can't imagine how I'll make it through. But the truth of #4 always helps!
