Dear Mom & Dad
This month in Velocity we’ve been going through a series called LIFE. We’re talking about some of the major parts of life and this week, both on Sunday and tonight at V-Groups, we talked about parents. We gave kids a chance to write anonymous notes to their mom & dad and we wanted to share some of their comments with you. They’re pretty powerful!
Dear Mom & Dad,
- Thank you for loving me and giving me the opportunity to have a relationship with God. I am sorry if I don’t understand where you are coming from at times. I love you guys.
- I wish that we talked about God more in everyday life.
- I wish my mom and stepdad would listen to me more after they get home from work instead of watching TV.
- I wish we could go out and do more things.
- I like it when you spend individual time with me, like playing basketball or going to lunch with me.
- It seems like you are never home.
- I wish that you would not yell.
- I just wish I could get you to sit down and actually listen to me instead of just saying “I’m the adult, you’re the child.” It makes me feel like you think I’m stupid.
- I wish you would spend time with me.
- Help me. Listen more often.
- I do not think that I say sorry enough.
- I wish you knew how much I really appreciate you.
- Make more rules.
- I am so happy that you give me so many rules. It helps me.
- I wish you knew how much I appreciate you and what you do for me.
- I love you. Thank you for being kind. I wish you could know that I want to spend more time with you.
- I can’t say how much I love you.
- I love you so much! You mean so much to me. I am so proud to be your child.
Love,
Your Child
