I think one of the single most important things we have done for our kids is give them the gift of faith. Just like with any gift, they may choose to use it all the time because it is just what they wanted. They may exchange if for another faith, not the one they were given, but one that is a better fit for them. They may decide at some point in their life to put their faith away for awhile. Just like a gift you may have received and it wasn’t what you needed at the time, but one day while you are cleaning out a closet, you discover it and realize it’s exactly what you need right now. Whatever they choose, I am so glad they have it so that whatever they decide to do with it, they have the faith they were given to make decisions and educated choices about what they decide to do when they are older and are out in the world making their own choices.
The Gift of Faith

Loved your thoughts on faith. I couldn’t agree more.
