Seeing Children As Our Mirrors

The way my daughter goes out of her way to cheer up a hurting friend reminds me of Jesus' pursuing, encouraging love. When my son agonizes for hours over what gift to buy, I can see glimpses of God's extravagant generosity. Dr. Dan Allender says, "It is our children who serve as the doorway we pass through to meet God face to face." What specific ways have your children helped you see and experience God?

--Mary E. DeMuth

This is part of Mary E. DeMuth's guided journal, "Creating the Family You Always Wanted," a 12-week journey in Christian parenting. Twice a week, you'll receive a new journaling prompt encouraging you to think about your family--and God--in new ways. Use these prompts in your own journal or in group discussion. If you're joining this journal mid-way through, you can start journaling at any time, and stay subscribed at the end, when the journal will restart and you can receive the prompts that you missed.
