The Need to Speak Positive Affirmations Over Your Child

America has just come through one of the most divisive elections I have ever seen in my entire life. We as adults have to admit no matter what are party affiliations are we witnessed some of the worst rhetoric from both sides of our major country political parties. I know it's easy as adults for us sometimes to shake words off and eventually to push past the negativity no matter how upset we may be for the moment. Eventually life must and will go on for us. Although life will go on for us I ask you to consider is this the case for our children. Our children will be the ones that go back to school and have to deal with children of different races whose parents may not be as civil as you. Some kids may take negative attitudes and speech of their parents demeaning others and yes even saying hateful words about other races around our children. I tell you it's a time to pray for our children. It's easy to tell our kid's if someone say's anything crazy to you about this election to knock them out but the truth is that only feeds more into the racial divide. We have to pray for our kids and begin to speak positive thing's over their lives before they walk out the door. Over the next few days I am writing word's that my daughter and nephew must read before they walk out of the door on their way to school. I want them to know they are fearfully and wonderfully made. I want them to know with God all things are possible. I want them to know they are not a minority but with God on their side they are the Majority!!! I want them to have enough positive affirmations over their lives that when they hear the negativity of others around them they will know deep down in their hearts that they are God's children and no matter what is said nothing can change that. I don't presume to know what the next four years will be like with a Trump presidency. I can only like you go by what I have seen, and heard so far. With that being said I encourage you to speak words of comfort to your children, and strong words of affirmation letting them know how special they are and that nothing can stop them from achieving.
