As single moms we all want the best for our children. Society measures our children in bests: who has the best grade and who has earns the best score at competitions, who shows the best appearance, etc.
How do we measure our children? How does God measure them? I know I want my children to be the best people they can be, and the closer they are to God, the higher potential they will reach. He has a plan for their lives, and when they walk faithfully with him they will live closer to His plan. I know His plan is better than anything I could come up with!
I once saw a question on a wall, and I think about it when I look at who I want my children to be. The question is, "What will the world remember you for?"
This video is about a little girl who is not yet 2 and knows how to find many countries on the map! I am glad that she is receiving this fame. God sees our children and they are famous in His eyes, too!
