00:00:08,165 --> 00:00:09,405
Speaker 1: Life Audio.

2
00:00:12,205 --> 00:00:15,925
Speaker 2: From the Salvation Army. Welcome to Heartbeat.

3
00:00:18,445 --> 00:00:20,725
Speaker 1: If you're the parent of young kids, are you ever

4
00:00:20,805 --> 00:00:23,765
Speaker 1: frustrated that they seem to have a new obsession every week?

5
00:00:24,204 --> 00:00:27,124
Speaker 1: Last week it was dinosaurs, This week gets space next

6
00:00:27,125 --> 00:00:30,205
Speaker 1: to and a bay? And sometimes we wonder why can't

7
00:00:30,205 --> 00:00:32,925
Speaker 1: they just stick with one thing? But what if those

8
00:00:33,005 --> 00:00:37,125
Speaker 1: changing interests aren't distractions? What if they're discoveries. They're learning

9
00:00:37,165 --> 00:00:40,245
Speaker 1: how God made them curious, creative, and brave enough to

10
00:00:40,284 --> 00:00:43,525
Speaker 1: try new things. Psalm one twenty seven says children are

11
00:00:43,565 --> 00:00:46,125
Speaker 1: a gift from the Lord, not a project we have

12
00:00:46,205 --> 00:00:49,125
Speaker 1: to perfect. So when the days feel messy and loud

13
00:00:49,125 --> 00:00:52,364
Speaker 1: and unpredictable, remember God isn't asking you to raise a

14
00:00:52,365 --> 00:00:55,925
Speaker 1: perfect child. He's asking you to faithfully love the one

15
00:00:56,205 --> 00:00:59,005
Speaker 1: right in front of you. So take a breath. You're

16
00:00:59,085 --> 00:01:02,565
Speaker 1: shepherding a precious life, one small moment at a time,

17
00:01:02,925 --> 00:01:06,005
Speaker 1: and God is in every one of them.
