The Greatest Gift For A Child

I’m back after the hostile takeover.  Since this is the Valentine’s season, I would like to share my opinion about Love. 

I believe that the greatest gift that a parent can give a child is the love for their other parent.  In our world today, with the divorce rate climbing every year, our children need to see that their parents love each other. 

I know that many are thinking that the greatest gift to give a child would be salvation.  I agree, but the point that I am trying to make is, how can you model the love of Christ if you can’t even love your spouse.

Let your children know that you love their mom or dad.  It will give them a strong foundation and some added security in a very chaotic world.

    Jamie,

    Good word. My folks were not openly affectionate when I was growing up. The displays of “parental love” were sometimes infrequent, and colored by more frequent arguments and such.

    Kim (my wife) and I have made our open affection a common part of everyday life in our home. When Kim and the girls get home from school each day, I make sure that my wife is the first one I greet. My daughters know that I love them dearly, but their Mom is the love of my life. :)
