Please Take Time

Years ago my children sang this song at a conference that I was speaking at. What a great reminder to make time for our children!

Mom and Dad, I know you hurry through each day of work and worry
But this is a reminder that I bring;
Just a little time I’m small, seems like hardly any time at all,
Soon these precious years will pass and so I sing:

Please take time to play, take the time to pray;
So quickly time will pass and I’ll be grown.
Take time to hold my hand, time to love and understand,
Please take the time before the time’s all gone.

When my life was all brand new, God gave the job to you,
To teach me how to love and how to live.
Teach me how to kneel in prayer, believing Christ will meet me there,
Trusting Calvary’s price my sins were all forgiven.

Now while my heart is tender, you can teach me to surrender,
For I look to your example and long to please.
But the time will someday come when opportunity is gone,
And as the twigs were bent will grow the tree.

"Because of the Intentional Living Course, I feel like there's a sense of order and peace to our days. The important things are done first, so if it all falls apart later, we're still ok!"

"These short lessons are perfect for younger children to process the information. his is a wonderful, affordable curriculum for teaching children Biblical character traits and I would highly recommend it."

This is a wonderful course for moms! I loved how Kathie encouraged me and inspired me to do better. She gave lots of opportunities to get in the Word to see what God has to say about anger, and told us specific ways we can change. I am so thankful for this course. And that God used it in my life.
