Your Kids are Awesome: A Daily Devotional for Busy Parents

A mother or father of young children may not have a lot of time to read a lengthy book on parenting wisdom. Their days are filled with kid crisis management interrupted by glorious moments of silence and calm. This book was written for those moments. The chapters are designed with the busy parents in mind. It takes 3 to 5 minutes to read one chapter and there is a "meditation" phrase at the end of the chapter to help retain the point of the chapter. Our friends would tell us, "Your kids are so awesome, what are you doing? You should write a book." Claire and I heard this over and over, and every time we would just nod our head in gratitude and laugh to ourselves. "Could you image us writing a book? That would be so out of our comfort zone." And it was. We didn't set out as parents to write a book, but we did seek out wisdom of all kinds. We looked at other parents to see what they were doing right and what they were doing wrong. We actively pursued book knowledge and divine wisdom as well. Many of our parenting ideas came from seeking God's face and simply saying, "Help. We don't know what to do". It is often said, "Kids don't come with a manual" and that is true because they are not machines. Children are more of a work of art. They need both the skill of a craftsman, and the intuition of an artist. An artist uses their imagination and tries to create the painting without damaging the canvas. Don't read this book like it is a manual and try to follow all of the Dunham's rules. Rather, use this book to start down your own path of discovery. Parenting wisdom is out there for you, just ask for it.
