Parent’s Corner- January 19, 2020

 

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”  Romans 12:2 ESV

 

As our children grow and develop in their knowledge and understanding of the Word, I pray that they would desire to follow the will of God in all they do. May they seek His wisdom, and may He guide and direct their paths.  May you find joy in your parenting this week!  Enjoy those precious gifts from God!
