🎄📝 🎁
PARENTS – 5 things your kids REALLY want for Christmas:
1️⃣Your presence – without a phone in your hand or some other screen distracting you.
2️⃣Your time – not just quality, quantity.
3️⃣Your affection – a hug, a headlock, holding their hand. Whatever they’re up for.
4️⃣Your grace – yes they’ve screwed up. So have you. Give them the forgiveness and patience God’s given you.
5️⃣Your blessing – SAY IT TO THEM: I believe in you. I love you. God loves you. Jesus died for you. I’m here for you. I know it’s hard being young, but you’re not alone. You’ve got a bright future ahead, I can see it.

And none of these things cost a dime. You don’t have to buy the latest tech📱 that’s gonna give them even faster, better access to anxiety and loneliness. What your kids really want, is you!

**No high horse here. Writing all of this to myself as much as any of you.

Love y’all. God loves you more.
