[blparent] Planning a Birthday Party

[Rhonda Lewis-Kubehl]

I love, love, love planning birthday parties!
My son's 1st bday was Pirate themed, we went all out!
His 2nd party was Thomas themed!
Again we went all out!
His 3rd birthday party was Cars 2 themed!
and his 4th birthday was Oceant themed!
Each party we had at our home, and have received compliments on how nice 
the party was.

Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children." ~ Pablo Picasso

I always personally reference how Jesus treated his disciples - a group of unruly, uneducated, fishermen. He never yelled, hit, punched, belittled...yet they came to know and love the Lord with their entire beings - all through his gentle, firm, loving teachings. That is how I want to parent my children."
