1. Have you read Chapter IV: The Laity in Lumen Gentium, the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church? How are we called to glorify God and share in His creative nature?
2. Where is your favorite place to encounter Christ?
3. What visual remembrances of your relationship with the Lord do you cherish?
4. How are you preparing your child(ren) to go into the world and make disciples for the Lord?
5. Do you reflect upon the spiritual significance of your role as wife and mother? How do you emphasize this facet in light of the "details of our lives" that threaten to overwhelm?
Action point-For each child in your household, write out a list of characteristics (personality traits, skills, interests, etc.) that you believe God can use for his purposes. Referring to the list you just made, write a letter to each child expressing what you see in him or her and affirming that God has a special place for that child in his kingdom purposes. Whether you share the letter with your child now or save it for a future time depends on your circumstances. Don't forget to commit this list to the Lord in prayer and specifically ask him for help in inspiring that child to use his or her gifts to help bring about God's kingdom.
