Psalm 19:10
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.

This week I have bitten my tongue until it hurt! Stomach in knots and ready to spit nails...I bit it. This is not my strength. I have a hard time letting it go.

Galatians 6:5

“For each one shall bear his own load”

Lord, I pray my children have joy and laughter...their daddy's sense of humor, but God help me instill in them a maturity beyond their years. 

Help us teach them responsibility.  We all have responsibilities...life is not always a joke.  Deadlines must be made; hard work is required.  God I pray that my children are responsible with their lives, in all their activities.
