Hello my Sister,

Let us be mindful to pay attention to our children.  Give them “something” of You that they can give to others and keep for themselves……. Something that money cannot buy. Give them something they "cannot" find  anywhere else. Unconditional love and Acceptance.

How many doses of Love can you give a child?

Regardless of their age or flaws or attitudes, love them, day and night. Give them a dose of love as often as they needed.  The child or children in your life are there for a purpose.  They, too have fears, insecurities and disappointments.

Love them back to health!  Love them back to a place of well being!  Love them back to forgiveness! Love them back to dignity!  Think Generations, when you see them and bless them!  At night, get up and go check on them:  (if they live with you)….. Lay your blessed hands on their forehead and speak a blessing over them….or whisper, “ I love you.”  Hug them until the genuine love you have for them is “known,” without a doubt… instead of fussing and yelling or cursing, Choose love!  Rock their world…and replace love where it did not apply before…Give a dose of Love on a regular basis.  Make it a habit.  FREE them to be able to come to you and talk about ANYTHING.  And instead of judgment, extend plenty of mercy and love.  Teach them to laugh again by Your example… Kneel beside the bed and pray, regardless of their age and stay there until your prayer…. Transform you to Love that child, without …. Any trace of hatred or misunderstanding or unforgiveness of any kind.

When you are finished, ask the child to forgive you and the way You have acted towards him or her or them…Say, “Forgive me, I was wrong”.  Say, I really love you, or “ or I am here because I care.”

Children show out or behave a certain way when they are: crying…trying…begging…wishing…waving for Attention!  Something in their past has caused either neglect or abuse, may be both (hurts and deep wounds need attention. Be the “bigger” person and blaze a trail for them rather than become part of the problem…you decide.

Love them, love them, and love them, until they can love themselves.  Dare to be different!

How many Doses of Love will it take to reach your children?  How many days did it take for God’s love to reach YOU?

No matter if you got them by birth, marriage, adoption, guardian, foster, for a day at school, at church, on vacation, for play, play or whatever… Dare to Love them like God loves you… And when you feel as though you have nothing else to give…. Give them Another Dose Of Love!

Love Nikki
