Thirteen Things I want for my kids 1. I want them to know they are loved, even when i'm fussing at them 2. I want them to be good. not just well behaved, but turn out to be good people. 3. I want them to know and love God, and to be involved in church 4. I want them to be intelligent. they don't have to be super geniuses, but i don't want them to have to struggle through school and life. 5. I want them to be confident and secure, and not follow the crowd (at least not too much.) 6. I want them to be healthy. 7. I want them to become responsible people. 8. I want them to live up to their potential, and develop high expectations of themselves 9. I want them to feel like they can tell me about what's going on in thier lives, no matter how old they are. i understand there will be times they won't want to, and times i wont want to know, but overall, i want them to know i'll always be there for them, no matter what mistakes they make. 10. I want them to play team sports. not only is it fun, there are so many lessons that boys and girls learn when they play on a team of any kind. 11. I want their dad and i to have a loving, committed, and happy marriage, so they can see what that looks and feels like, so they'll know what to look for in a spouse of their own. 12. I want them to know the joy of making someone else happy. That it is in helping and giving that we are blessed. 13. I want them to be happy. I list this one last, because if they have all the others, this one will follow. there are tons of other things i could list. we as parents just want the world for them. you understand. i'm always wondering if i'm doing it right.
