Build a Healthy Child Calligraphy Parenting Wood Canvas Print

PERSONALIZED WITH BABY'S NAME, WEIGHT, LENGTH AND DATE OF BIRTH. This is a timeless and classic inspiration text written by Audrey Jeanne Roberts. Perfect for newborn baby gift to encourage the new parents. The original copyrighted text reads, "Lord, help me build a Healthy Child - For it is easier to build a child than to repair an adult. Help me praise more than criticize, encourage more than nag, discipline, not punish, and model good behavior rather than simply demand it. Help me break the habit of automatically saying, "No," when I could just as easily say, "Yes," and to remember a hug given before it's asked for is ten times more valuable! Help me ask myself, "Will this matter in 20 years?" Then enable me to let go of those things that won't so I can have the energy for those that will. Help me earn their respect as I lead a life consistent with the principles I value. Lord, give me the courage to teach them right from wrong and help them discover their own special destinies. Help me to freely join in their silliness, share in their laughter, delight in their joys and keep their confidences. Remind me daily to draw upon your strength to heal their wounds and comfort their sorrows. Most of all, Lord, Help me really listen for the hidden thoughts and needs that often lie behind their requests and give me the key to their heart that it may be opened wide to all life's wonders and possibilities. - COPYRIGHT Audrey Jeane Roberts (all rights reserved). This verse began from a discussion in Audrey Jeanne's Calligraphy art booth with notes written on a napkin and carried around for 5 years until it was completed. Heart felt love for her children and a hunger for God's wisdom to raise healthy, productive, blessed children. Often ready by Audrey Jeanne as "Mommy's time out" as one of her two daughters was also in a time out, lol! With prayers that this will bless your family or the family of one whom you love.
