BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE Jeremian 29:11l states: "1 know thse plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans la prosper you and flot la harem you, plans tla give you hope and a future. "1 God has a wonderful plan for cach of our lives. Often, we forget that when God looksat our lives, He secs not only our past, but our potential for Uic future as well. He knows what He could accomplish through our gifta and talents if we were complctely surrendered to His plan. God watches Uic people who are observing our lives, judgi ng the merits of Christianity by thc conistency of our lifeatyle. He secs thse individuals we will encounter and have an opportunity to share our faith with -- if we are spinitually on track at the time. Hc lusows which persons could be Uic great doctors, lawyers, legiala- tors, preachers or teachers. He is aware'of what could happen through us if we were available for His purposes. As parents, t encourage you ro be al Uiat you can be! Your chil-J dren possesa incredible potential. Your lovc holda the ibcrating key of releasing Uiem to achieve great things. How you raise Uiemn matters. More often than not, the acorn often doca flot travel far from Uic oak. Determnine today to make a difference in your chil- dren's lives. Consider the nostalgie reflections of Dianc Loomana: If!I had my child to raise ail over again, Id build self -esteem first and the house lter. Id finger-paint more andfinger-pomnt iess. I wouid do less correcting and more connecting. Id eye my i.'atch less and watch more with my eyes. I would care f0 know less and knom, f0 care more. Id take more hikes andfly more kites. Id stop playing serious and seriously play. I wvould run through more fields and gaze at more stars. Id do more hugging and less tugging. Id see the oak tree in the acorn more ofien. I would be firm less often, and affirm much more. Id model less about the love of power, And more about the power of lose. The only personf who can stop you from bccoming what God intenda you to become is you! Do nos neglcct God's principles for highly effective living as laid out in the Bible. Let me encourage you to bcnefit from Uic challenge, inspiration and practical assis- tance that a church has to offer you in your quest of becoming al Uiat you can be! Start the New Year right!
