My daughter, Michaela, is super! She came into this world twelve years ago only weighing 3 lbs. 11 oz. but every little inch of her was full of love and generosity! Michaela has always looked for ways to help others. She wanted to raise her own money for missions, so she began to collect aluminum cans to recycle and just look on the ground (in parking lots, etc.) for lost coins that needed a purpose. She directs all of these funds to various mission projects, and sends in her own support to VOE (Voice of Evangelism - Perry Stone Ministires). Michaela is super because she has a heart after God! We are blessed to call her our daughter.
Why my kids are super…I have awesome kids. 3 little boys.I am truly blessed. Last year I had a very difficult pregnancy. I went into labor at 31 weeks. Needless to say my labor was stopped but it was bed rest for me until my time was up. My two oldest boys were the best little helpers.I did not have any outside help so it was up to us as a family to get through it. One day while laying on the couch trying to listen to the doctors orders but still be a mommy. I heard my then 5 year old to my then 3 year old..” We need to be a little quiet and not have mom get up, he baby needs to stay in her belly and grow some more.” On another very difficult day during my pregnancy we found out we had lost a family friend to a sudden heart attack. I went in my room to have a moment to pray and cry. My son came in the room to see me in tears. He asked why I was crying. I told him that mommy was having a sad moment and I just needed to cry for a few minutes. He climbed up on the bed took my face in his hands, kissed my forehead and said, Mom I will cry for you. Its at these moments that I realize I have super kids, not because they make their beds or can build an elaborate fort. Its because they understand what family is. They are learning how to support each other. They show compassion and strength at such small ages. God has truly blessed me with SUPER kids. Thank you for your time.
Why are my kids super? Well there are a number of reasons why.
First there is my son, who is 8 years old. He has cerebral palsy and is sick a lot. This year alone he has had pneumonia four times! He’s always in and out of the hospital. But you know what; he never lets it get him down. He’s always smiling and laughing. He loves everyone, especially his little sister and likes to aggravate her, like any other big brother I guess. His attitude on life is something we all need to have and he loves the Lord with all his heart.
Then there is my daughter, who is 4. She has a love for God like I’ve never seen in a child her age, and wants to be in church every time the doors are open. She has servants heart and attitude as she is always looking out for those she cares about, especially her big brother. She pushes him around in his wheelchair, plays with him, and makes sure he has everything he wants and needs. She likes to help me with the cleaning and laundry and I rarely have to ask her to do anything more than once.
It’s really hard for me to explain why I think my kids are super. There really are no words to do these two sweet kids justice. I just know that God has blessed me to no end, by giving me my two precious children. They are my salvation and my life. They represent the heart and attitude that every Christian should have. I am truly blessed and I thank God every day for them.
My kids are super because they are bright and happy and they are my kids. They are helpful and love being social butterflies. They help their youngest sister (1) with everythign and they like to teach her about the world. They like having a moment to think and share with others. They are saddend when there is someone they know that has to go without and they try to help them; example of this is a friend forgot her lunch so my kiddo shared her lunch with this friend. I am truly bless with my 3 girls. Thank you.
My kids are super because all 7 are blessings! They are helpful, loving and thoughtful. Two have chronic conditions and all of them will help around the house to get things done when the others are unable. They are considerate of others when we go out, often others will comment that they are a pleasure to be around.I thank the Lord for each one of my super kids.
My kids are great because they are gifts from God. I am ever learning as well as them in grace, love, and education. I am so thankful that God has allowed us to keep and train them for His service.
My five kids ( and husband too if I might add) are super because mommy has been down with the flu and a terrible cough the last five days. They have done more than what was required in taking care of our home, me , and each other. While mom moaned and sometimes laughed on the couch watching Andy Griffith reruns, my kids were exploring their interests in the basement. Two daughters sewed me a potholder with Mom stitched on it and a pillowcase for their daddy embroidered with a large heart. All of this was done with joy (and much secrecy). They also changed their brothers’ clothing and diapers, kept the house somewhat picked up, and truly enjoyed each other. While no school work got done this week, I certainly learned great things about my children. They are very precious to me and bring me so much joy even in the midst of the flu. I will also add that they have all been coughing terribly too, but nobody has complained or whined like their mother!!! They teach me so much about my sin nature too. OUCH!
My kiddos are super because they know Jesus as their Savior!
