A few days ago, a sister showed me a web site with various cool lunch box designs. It caught my attention and brought back some parenting ideas that I have come across over the years: ideas such as how to bless our children each day with a simple prayer and a verse of God's Word; ideas such as leaving traces of encouragements in our children's lunch boxes.
I did some search and found resources with Bible verse cards and jokes for kids. So, I am thinking about giving it a try. May be I can combine a joke of the day to bring a smile on my kids' face to brighten up their days. May be I can bless them with a verse or two from the Bible to nurture their hearts.
Proverbs 17:22 says, "A cheerful heart is good medicine." May this little act help them grow into a person full of God's joy from within and equip them to bring healing to the brokenness of the world wherever God leads them.
