Good morning!
     Today I have been thinking about the creativity of God, that He created so many beautiful things for us to enjoy, including the people around us.  "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork."  Psalm 19:2
     For those of us who have children they too are a special creation of God with gifts and talents specifically given by Him.  Once they come to know the Lord as their Savior, He has plans for their future and for the using of those gifts and talents.  See Ephesians 1:3-11  "so that we who were  the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory."   Our children were created to be to the praise of His glory.  He has special plans for each one of them.  They are His creation!  Ephesians 1:12  "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them."  Ephesians 2:10
     As mother's and grandmother's and aunts we have the blessed privilege of encouraging the use of those gifts and talents for the Lord.  Do they like to read, let's encourage the reading of God's Word, though books that are sound.   I am constantly saddened by the children (and mother's) who know so much about the world's books and entertainment and so little of the Bible and the beautiful true Bible stories.  Perhaps for birthday and Christmas gifts you could choose stories that would bless them spiritually?  Are you reading Bible stories to your children?  Which Bible character is their favorite?
     Perhaps they like to draw?  Encourage them to draw nature and point out that God is the Creator.  Perhaps you have a child that is physical, they love sports.  Encourage them in solid physical activity and godly actions whether they win or loose.  Some children have a natural bent toward hospitality, they enjoy serving people who come to visit.  As a mother this is an area that can be developed in the child.  They can learn to set the table, prepare simple foods, and serve others.
     This will take time and some observation of our children to "see" their God given talents but it can be a joy as we see them growing in these areas.  We can encourage them in positive character traits and in the abilities that God has given them.  They are not all the same so we have the privilege of getting to know them and guiding them when they are young.  Thankfully they are God's children and He will have a greater influence if we don't do it perfectly.
