Listening and Loving Well

Today's devotional on 2 Peter 1:12 emphasizes that the foundation of parenting is listening and maintaining strong relationships with your children. Mark Gregston reminds us that life is short, and embracing its brevity helps us focus on what truly matters — our impact on those closest to us. True legacy is not found in achievements or recognition, but in the love, influence, and wisdom passed down to children and grandchildren. Even when kids make poor choices or hold different beliefs, maintaining a relationship and unconditional love gives parents the chance to guide and shape their hearts.
