Caring for Children
Children make us grateful in an endless variety of ways. They bring surprising responses to each new turn of life and fill us with wonderment. But when they challenge us with their emerging independence, their painful uncertainties, and their disappointments if things don't go their way, what happens to gratefulness? This message board allows you to trade with others your joys and your challenges in caring for children.

"100 years from now, it will not matter ~ What kind of car I drove, What kind of house I lived in, How much money I had, But the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child".

Pray for continued recovery for Alice, after her surgery, but especially for her parents who do not know the grace of God, who fills their lives with everything that is good...

Please light a candle and pray for my grandson as he suffers with Cerebral Palsy. he is 5 years old. He cannot talk/walk./eat/sit-up & has very little use of his hands. For those who have healthy children & grandchildren. Count your blessings. For those who don't say your prayers & ask god to send us a MIRACLE SOON. Thank you and God Bless!

I am new to this but I just wanted to say that having a child is the most wonderful, life changing experience. My son is with his father for the week to visit family, I couldnt go because I was too busy, and I am missing him so much. I have never been away from him for that long. Well I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
