You love your son, right? But do you like your son? And more important, does he know you like him? What have you done to communicate that to your son?
You might have deep feelings for him, but thats not enough. He doesnt necessarily know what you know or how keenly you feel. When was the last time you spoke words of affirmation directly to him? Have you regularly found the goodness in the moments of your sons life and commented, even raved, about them?
He needs to hear from you, and Words of Affirmation Your Son Needs to Hear is a resource to spark your thinking and help you look for those times when you can speak positive words of encouragement, success, and destiny into his heart.
This book will encourage you to find everyday wins in your sons life and celebrate those wins in real time. The world will tear him down, but you have the gift to lift him up. Use your powerful voice as a parent to speak words of affirmation into his heart and begin building your relationship on a positive, unshakable foundation.
I have great confidence in your future.
Our son was busy with his usual morning chore of collecting eggs from the nests in the chicken coop, carrying a few dozen into the house, and then washing them in the laundry room sink. Maybe it felt special when he first took over Farm Boy Fresh Eggs, but such jobs quickly lose their glamour and become mundane to a young kid like him, whose eyes are on the horizon, ready to take on the world.
He grew up with a father who encouraged diligence and endurance, but on that morning, I watched from a short distance away with a mothers eye, perceiving things he was blind to in that moment. I spotted big stuff in his little faithfulness. And I told him so.
Son, God has great things planned for your future.
He looked up at me, eyes wide with surprise, nearly cracking an egg in the process. He was amazed to have been noticed and was startled by my morning prophecy.
But, of course, I meant it. From where he stood, he was simply washing dried chicken poop from eggshells. But from where I stood, he was a young man going places, one speckled brown egg at a time.
Many days in a sons life involve simply putting one foot in front of the otherbeing diligent and faithful to finish the job at hand. And its times like these when you, as his parent, have the opportunity to instill a vision for his future. You will often see more than your son has the maturity or capacity to comprehend. Life may seem mundane or even bleak at times, but your confidence in his future is strong, isnt it? Show him how his diligence and faithfulness are connected to the future God already has planned for him.
Youre the kind of friend I wanted when I was your age.
There may come a time in your sons life when finding genuine friends proves difficult. People are often fickle and self-interested. True friends are hard to come by. Faithfulness, loyalty, and selflessness are too often in short supply.
If your son finds himself going through a lonely season, the messages from the enemy can be very discouraging: Youre not worth it. Youre not cool enough. Nobody wants to be your friend. But youre nearby, and when the world tells him he has little value, you can tell him the truthhes an awesome friend, and one you would have loved to have had when you were his age. Tell him youre not just his dad or mom; youre his friend and confidant.
Also, be sure to point him to Jesus, who knew what it meant to be betrayed by His closest companions until He was utterly alone. Jesus understands. He was attacked by friends who pretended they didnt know Him in order to save themselves. But He will never abandon us. Hes forever faithful, and thats important to know when you have to spend a night or twoor a seasonin lifes lonely valley.
God blessed me by bringing you into the world.
Some people might have considered me too old to be having a baby. I was forty, after all, when I had our youngest. And I wouldnt be sharing honestly if I didnt say that Id occasionally had the thought during that pregnancy, What am I doing having a baby at this age?
But then he was born. Our handsome blue-eyed boy with the sweetest temperament you can imagine. How could I have ever doubted?
So I tell him. I want him to know what a gift he is and how his hugs and silly antics bring me such cheer. If I dont tell him, how will he know?
If you think back to when you were young, youll probably remember how insignificant kids can feel. Sometimes they believe they dont really matter all that much. But the truth is, they mean the world!
Tell your child how much he means to you and how thankful you are that God brought him into your life.
You offer such comfort with your gentle strength .
Sunday was an unusually hard day. Right in the middle of prayer time at church, our daughter with special needs suffered a grand mal seizure, and suddenly everything came to a standstill. Everyone watched helplessly while she cried out loudly in pain and her body trembled with the violence of an earthquake.
Matt is typically at her side in an instant, but he was traveling that weekend. Because my eyes had been closed in prayer, it took me a few moments to get my bearings before jumping up and rushing to reach her wheelchair at the end of our row. But I was second to arrive, as her younger brother was already by her side, wrapping her tightly in strong, loving arms to calm her convulsions. I joined him, and the two of us held on to her for a long minute and a half until the tremors subsided.
When the seizure was over at last, he disappeared. Was he alright? I was worried, but then he returned with a tissue to wipe the tears from her eyes and the drool from her face. At that point I could no longer keep it together, so he made another trip to the bathroomthis time to get more tissues for me.
Hes only a young teen, but he somehow knew just what to do right then. His gentle strength in that sad and difficult situation brought both his sister and me such comfort.
Perhaps your son wont have to step into such a challenging moment, or maybe he deals with even greater trauma. But there will be times in your sons life when he rises to offer himself in difficult moments. Its unlikely he will understand how much comfort he brings you and the rest of his family with his thoughtfulness, gentle strength, or kindness, which is why he needs to hear from you what an awesome blessing he really is!
