Lord help me to give my children the best of myself and not of things, cherish them on good and bad days, accepting them for who they are and not for what they are or do. Let me give them a home where respect and integrity will bring enough happiness to raise the roof, let me provide moderately all their needs so that from the joy of getting they will learn the joy of giving. Let me teach them that the reward of hard work is not wealth but excellence., and when the honours come however small, let me rejoice with them without taking the glory, for my children are enough glories…and above all let me groom them well in your truth and love. This I ask in Jesus’ name. Amen
