Your Child is Special

Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward.                                                                                  (Psa 127:3) KJV

Every child is special although no angel may have announced his birth. Each babe conceived is a sacred miracle and an unfathomable mystery. Even though the infant may not posses superhuman strength, outstanding intelligence or marks of a genius, the fact is that every child is special and parenting is a sacred trust and special honour.

Each boy or girl posses a uniqueness of five and a half billion people on this planet; no one has her voice, no body has his fingerprints, none has his eye print, no person has her face, no one, except an identical twin has his DNA, no creature has her identical personality.

Accept your child; it is vital that children feel prized, valued and special to their parents. Express your love; say to your child – “I love you every day”, “You are special” Spend special time with your child

Demonstrate faith to your child; “I can do all things through Him who gives me strength”, “With God all things are possible”, “yet in all things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us”

Teach your child their worth in God’s sight. Your child is a gift and a blessing from God.
