Hi Peggy! So glad you enjoy my blog. I love that you bought the Praying Biblical Virtues for your girls, while thinking of your grandkids!! That is great. 🙂 Yay for the “oops!” A surprise blessing from God!

I’m a homeschool mom of 25 years and love your blog. I just purchased 3 books for my girls so they can pray for the character of my grandchildren. The list is great ! My last baby was our “oops” , but God’s plan. She is 28 now and I still say to her, “What would we do without our Jackie?”

I love the positive focus of this! I’ve seen a number of articles about things you should “never” say to your children and, honestly, I think very few of them are inherently problematic and deserve that “never” label. (Most of them are more a matter of context or balance.) But THIS is what really makes the difference — if words like these dominate our conversations.

My favorite thing to say to my daughter is “I’m your biggest fan.” She always gives me a big smile when I say it!
