You never saw him, but you learned to love him; you may not see him even now, but you believe in him;[b] and, if you continue to believe in him, how you will triumph! How ineffable your joy will be, and how sublime, 9 when you reap the fruit of that faith of yours, the salvation of your souls! 1 Peter 1: 8-9

Lift Up Someone

You know how sometimes children can be cruel - even vicious at times. So how do you teach that often forgotten quality - empathy to your child? How do we teach them to have a genuine concern for the feelings and well-being of others?

Children who understand and practice the fine art of caring for others may be less likely to follow the pack. They may be better prepared to avoid making some bad choices along the way. They will understand the damage being done and stand against it. How can we teach our little ones to always look for and bring out the good - in themselves and others.
