To build trust with kids, we need to show up again and again...

“Yet” is a tiny but powerful word, and our children should definitely be using it more in their vocabulary.
Listen to the difference between:
“I can’t read well” and “I can’t read well – yet.”
“I don’t know” and “I don’t know – yet.”
“I’m not good at this” and “I’m not good at this – yet.”
“It doesn’t make sense” and “It doesn’t make sense – yet.”
Did you see how adding the word, “yet”, at the end of a sentence changes everything? How it empowers? How it invites new opportunities?
Saying “yet” changes how our children think, feel, and react to challenges. Today, show your children the amazing difference one little word can make!

Cockroaches are everywhere you don't want them to be. They've even shown up on spacecrafts! They eat everything (leather, soap, paint, glue, toothpaste, spinach, and worse). In a pinch, they'll turn on each other and chow down. They are noisemakers. The Madagascar hissing cockroach forces air out of its breathing holes and makes a hissing squeak that drives its enemies crazy.

Since cockroaches (and siblings) aren't going away, guess we'll have to learn to live with them.

1 John 2:9 says, "Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness."

God could have given you any brother or sister in the world. Instead, you got this exact family. These are the people God chose for you to learn from.

Pray for one another. Treat family members with at least as much respect and kindness as you treat your friends. Work at your relationship with each individual member of your family. Family is for life!
