Measurable Growth
Parent’s Corner- July 29, 2018
“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” Luke 2:52
Children grow. Overnight sometimes. In my house, it always seems to happen on Saturday night, right before the long pants have to be worn on Sunday! That is what happens when you keep feeding them, I guess! When my kids go to camp, they seem to grow inches in the weeks they are gone! Growth is not always measured in inches, but often in mature responses, insightful comments, control of temper, and understanding of concepts. How wonderful it is to see such growth deepen and develop right before our eyes!
I pray that as you teach your children at home, and as they study further at church, and as you follow up with what they have learned at home, that they too might follow the example of Jesus, and grow not only in inches, but also in measurable wisdom.
