“When our children face life’s disappointments, they benefit by knowing we are on the sidelines giving our love and prayer support, understanding their struggles to the best of our ability, and believing they can and will work things through. These gifts will help equip them to get through their disappointments and determine how to best move forward. We can pray that God will give them wisdom as they make crucial choices, knowing His plan for them may not be the same as ours but will be what is best for them.”
Nancy Williams in Secrets to Parenting Your Adult Child (Bloomington: Bethany House, 2011) 108.
This week we are dropping Sophie off at college, and we will leave her with the gifts of love and prayer support. Why do this? These are the things she will need most in the days, months, and years to come. Whether you have grown children or not, join us in giving the gifts of love and prayer support to the next generation.
