"When kids feel always under review, always a work in progress, always on their guard, they start to feel like projects instead of deeply loved and accepted children." ~Gary Thomas from Monday's devotion, "Treat 'Em Like Grandkids" over on Substack. https://buff.ly/48KDwK5

Beauty is not just something that sits there and waits for our reaction. It is something that, should we allow ourselves to be open to it, actively draws our attention not only to it, but draws us to draw others’ attention to it as well. In this way, beauty’s purpose serves to engage us with each other—so that we can create and curate even more beauty. ⁠
⁠
Join Pepper, Amy and I on Being Known Podcast as we discover how beauty reveals the inescapable reality that we were made for connection and that beauty is one of God’s most powerful means of showing us that this is true.⁠

Wisdom invites us to stand and ask for the ancient paths where the good way lies.

"The Dance of Relationships and Why They Matter" is up on the blog today!

Dr. Deborah MacNamara talks about how to solidify the emotional bond with your child.

"Life is not possible without attachment. We all begin as cells that embed themselves in our biological mother’s womb, with her body providing a warm and safe place for them to multiply and divide. The
cellular transformation is breathtaking and provides a beautiful window to watch life unfold through connection. As the umbilical cord emerges in early development, it tethers mother and child to each other. This cord will become the pathway for sharing nutrients and substances, including fetal cells which cross into the mother’s body and take up residence in her heart, lungs and other major organs.1

While the physical attachment between biological mother and child is fascinating, it often eclipses another form of attachment that is critical to a child’s development. The emotional bond we form with our children provides a psychological womb in which they grow in the outside world. Children need
to be tethered emotionally long after the physical cords between us are cut..."

"Children need at least one person in their life who thinks the sun rises and sets on them, who delights their existence, and loves them unconditionally."
