Approaching their teens and beyond, faith development in children and youth is learned and tested with their peers. I often ponder how to encourage this throughout our parish. Kids do best with the village at church and we do need to nurture faith sharing communities. We need to be intentional with nurturing community. I have noticed how you are intentional in encouraging friendships with your kids. So wise!

Thanks, Suzanne! Though I appreciate the props, I believe my children’s relationships with their faith family is less ‘my wisdom’ and more ‘the blessings God has graced us with’. Like attracts like, so as I grow to desire more time with those who are disciples of Christ, my kids also spend more time, and they become aware of the differences between the way they feel in a community of the faithful, and how they feel in a community without faith. The beautiful community God has graced us with, who exude His love and pour it out on my children, has been a tremendous gift to us all. Thank you for being a part of that loving community of faith!

Beautiful Lori! As I watch my children deal with struggles at school it breaks my hearts. Then, when I see them seek the love and support from their faith family afterwards, my heart warms!

Amen, sister! As Kendra beautifully reflected yesterday, we were created for relationship, and I'm so glad our children have been blessed with so many beautiful and faithful relationships to seek comfort from as they navigate this crazy world!
