Your faith can help your children become themselves

Morning: Psalms 146, 147; Micah 6:1-8; I Corinthians 4:9-16

Evening: Psalms 11, 112, 113; Matthew 15:21-28

I discovered when my sons were grown that kids teased them because I was a priest. I think they felt ungrounded and vulnerable because I may not have shared my faith with them enough. The faith of the Canaanite woman who meets Jesus helps in her daughter’s healing. I am sure it is never too late to help our children heal the loss they suffered because we were cautious about sharing our faith with them. If we do that now (including our doubts and fears), it can only help them become more fully themselves, more whole. I will keep trying.
