Farsighted

"I pray you'll be farsighted - and able to see where our God is leading us."

Oh the days we get so wrapped up in the moment and then forget to look beyond ourselves and to our God.  My daily prayers seem to be about the moment and the demands of the day.  So when it comes to our kids I like how Lisa suggests being sure another mentor is in their lives to help them build a relationship with Jesus.  "Find a solid mentor who challenges them to go deeper (because trust me, at some point, they’d rather hear it from someone besides us parents); teach them to live a life that others want “a piece of”— exuding a sweet attitude that draws others near; and encourage them to shut out the noise and busyness of life enough to slow down and focus on where God is leading."

Do you have a solid mentor in your life as well?  Someone who can help keep you on path and keep you real.
