God Provides, Therefore We Share

We know what is required of us to be caregivers and gaurdians of our children, but there are many things that children need that we don't automatically provide. This week, I would like you, as a parent/caregiver, to think of one thing you can promise your child(ren) that you will ALWAYS provide.
Here are some examples:
You will regularly pray for them
You will always tell them the truth
You will always honestly answer their hard questions
They can trust you with their feelings and tough questions
Wherever you are is a safe place for them

God Provides, Therefore We Share

We all probally feel we spend a majority of our time telling our children to share. We know that sharing is a key social skill, but why so immportant?
What leads us to share?
How does sharing encourage understanding or provision? How do we communicate to our kids that we share because we can?
What are some ways we, as parents, can share with our kids our faith? Our belongings? Our talents?
Spend a few minutes discussing with another adult the differences of adults sharing and children sharing. How are they similar? Different?
