This is something I came across in my prayer journal that I had obviously nabbed from somewhere....and moves my heart to be reminded of it's content. Let me share....
"Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit -- you choose." Proverbs 18:21 So....
- Dad's, kneel down and look in your kid's eyes and tell them you love them
- Write your kiddos a note and stick it in their lunch box or backpack
- Overlook your kid's flaws because they are a work-in-progress
- Tell them they are history makers and world changers
- Speak life by telling them they are leaders, not followers
- Help them understand they are not trend followers, but trend setters
- Let them know they will be used by God in supernatural ways
- Say "I believe in you"
- Dad's, tell your daughter she is beautiful and tell your boys they are heroes
Our children need us to believe in them, encourage them and tell the truth about who they can become.....

Pabama!!! Preach it brother Mitchem!!!
Well said. Too often I forget they are a work in progress. Good stuff, man.
The fact that you have a prayer journal is pretty sweet! Rock on Mitchem!
You mean that yelling at them and telling them to stop, don't, or no..... is not building them up?
Be slow to yell and quick to praise!!!!
