How to Raise a Jesus FreakSample

Hello again, my friend! Today's verse – 3 John 1:4 – reminds us of the power of celebrating the positive choices our kids make. You know, I have this memory of my child choosing to spend time reading the Bible when they could have been doing something else. I made it a point to celebrate that moment, to let them know how proud I was of their decision. It's like planting seeds of encouragement in their hearts. The Bible is full of stories about celebration – like the parable of the prodigal son returning home. The father celebrated his son's return, showing us the Father's heart for celebrating our steps towards Him. When you celebrate your child's good choices, you're nurturing a heart that desires to please God. It's like giving them little boosts of motivation along their journey of faith.

Celebrate Good Choices - Practical Advice:

• Celebrate growth: Acknowledge when your child seeks God, reads the Bible, shows obedience, or takes initiative in prayer.
• Be intentional: Plan special moments of celebration for your child's faith milestones and positive decisions.
