FAMOUS

"For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God" (John 12:43).

So, Chloe's on this dreadful "I wanna be famous" kick.

"How do I go about this one?" I ask in prayer.

The answer comes to me in 2 days.



I jumped on Caleb while he was lying on the bed, squeezed him, gave him a kiss and told him to go nigh-night. Chloe asks, "Mom, why don't you do that to me?" Mother of the year has no answers. Just run me down a razor blade and have me land in lemon juice.

The next day she's reading a magazine. "Hey, mom, look at this...The magazine asked kids if they would like to spend more time with their parents. 67% said they do!!!!!! Uh, huh!!!! See, I told you!" Spear through the heart! Ugh.

It's then I realize that she wants to be famous to her parents, not the paparazzi! Each is a call for attention & by golly, I can do the latter!

I've got to institute one-on-one time with each kid. Has to be done. It fulfills them, makes them feel loved, wanted, safe, and secure.

Today's prayer: "Same goes for us adults. We need one-on-one time with You. It makes us feel loved, wanted, safe, and secure. After all, we are Your children and we are all famous in Your eyes."
