Editor's Note: This was first written in 1998, but still remains true and powerful. I believe it is worth sharing again. Donna has two young adults and two foster grandsons that bear the marks of her love and grace and are blessed by the legacy she has passed on to them.
Children are gifts from God. God has entrusted us with something precious to him — an eternal someone, a living soul. I am filled with awe as I ponder this. The Heavenly Father not only entrusted me with my children's precious souls, but he also gave me his Son to be my own Savior.
What an awesome responsibility we have as stewards of this precious gift we call our children and what an incredible blessing the Father wants us to share with them!
Once we truly believe our children are gifts from God, we need to let them know that we believe they are gifts.
