Quotes

“A child must learn early to believe that she is somebody worthwhile, and that she can do many praiseworthy things.”
–Benjamin Mays

There is so much truth to this statement. What would this world be like today if every person, as a child, believed that they were a worthwhile individual? I don’t think that the world would be perfect by any means, but it would be a lot better than it is today!

I think that most people can agree that children represent hope because of their unlimited potential. If we, as adults, can help children understand how important they are to us, then hopefully their future (and our own) will be brighter. For me personally, this means trying my best to not take my son for granted, and living with him in the moment as much as possible.

By no means am I saying that raising children is a walk in the park. But I do know that one of the only reasons that I turned out to be a decent kid was because I had a grandmother who took the time to let me know how much I meant to her. If I can do the same thing for my son that she did for me, then it will be a small testimony to what a wonderful person she is.
