I Love You

Everyday I say " I Love You" to my teenage son and my daughter. It seems the most natural thing in the world to tell my younger children “I Love You”. As they grow older it is not so easy for them to say it to me. I believe they need to hear these words, though. They pretend that it does not matter or that they really do not want me to say “I Love You” but deep inside I know they feel great about being told that they are special and loved. It is important to me that they hear this everyday.



I say “I Love You” when they go to school each morning. I say “I Love You” each night when they go to bed. I express my love to them every time, whether or not they do something good or something bad. Teenagers are not perfect human beings. I say "I Love You" anyway, no matter what. I only say “I Love You” to them when they are not amongst by their friends because I know they might feel embarrassed. Expressions of affection for teenagers are best made in private.

They are my precious gifts from God, and they are lovable and worthwhile people. My son and daughter will grow into the loving, Godly, wonderful human beings that God created.
