Top 5 Wishes For My Son
Merry Christmas! Yes, it’s Christmas today and looking at social media posts, I saw a lot of ‘What’s your wish?’ or ‘What do you want to receive?’ Instead of asking that to myself, I wrote the top 5 wishes I have for my son when he grows up and can decide for himself.
That he accepts Jesus as his Lord and Savior
Accepting Jesus as his Lord and savior is a guarantee that he will be saved and have eternal life in Heaven. Isn’t this the best wish one could ever have for their children?
Not good deeds, not good words, and not just going to church will save us. John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Be Kind and Loving
So many bad things are happening. Even so, I believe that we will have a better world if we teach our children to be kind and loving.
Here’s a good read from Making Caring Common of Harvard Graduate School of Education: 7 Tips for Raising Caring Kids (Click the link for their tips on how to put the below guideposts into action).
- Develop caring, loving relationships with your kids
- Be a strong moral role model and mentor.
- Make caring for others a priority and set high ethical expectations.
- Provide opportunities for children to practice caring and gratitude.
- Expand your child’s circle of concern.
- Promote children’s ability to be ethical thinkers and positive change-makers in their communities.
- Help children develop self-control and manage feelings effectively.
To not obsess about having material things to be happy
Yes, there are material things that are essential for us to live. But, obsessing in having more than what we need will never be the answer to happiness and contentment. This is also a reminder to myself especially at times when I want something that is not really necessary but nice to have.
1 Timothy 6:6-12
To have the best circle of friends
Friends will come and go, I know, I’ve lost so many. I wish my son finds good friends who will positively influence him and stay by his side even when he grows old.
To be responsible and diligent
I may not have practiced these values consistently, but I hope my son grows up responsible and diligent.
These are just the top wishes that I have for my son and I have a lot more. I pray God gives us wisdom to raise our son well and instill values that shape him into a good person.

Part din ng wish ko for Elaisha is to have good circle of friends. It is because special child si elaisha and very rare ung makakaunawa at hindi siya ijajudge. She have a friend a regular kid na napakabait who understands her too bad they need to migrate to States next year. Sna may makita pa kaming ganung kaba it na bata

Having the right set of friends is crucial to a child’s growth in character and in everything else. i always pray for my kids to find friends who come from families that share the same values as ours.
