And His father and mother were amazed at the things which were being said about Him.
Luke 1:33
We are so close to our children that we sometimes do not see what other people see.
We had a pastor, whose five year old son was quite a handful. He was not a compliant child and everything was an argument. If trouble could be found, he would find it. The pastor said they went to his kindergarten conference and the teacher could not say enough good stuff about him. She said, "He shares, he is studious, he helps others and he is so kind." To which the parents replied, "We are Tom's parents." The teacher said. "I know."
Jesus was a baby, when God revealed to Simeon that He was the Messiah. Mary and Joseph were not expecting that. I am sure they knew Jesus was special because the Angel told them so before He was born but they probably thought that this would not be revealed to anyone else until Jesus was an adult.
Let’s all take a minute to watch our kids and catch them doing something good. And, say, “Wow, that sure was nice of you to do that.”
A little praise goes a long way.
