Hope and joy are a huge part of Christianity. The hope of an eternity spent in Heaven can give Christians joy even in this fallen world. Others are often drawn to God when they see the hope and joy in our lives. Your children can learn to spread hope and joy as they go through life. They don’t have to be fake or even have a naturally bubbly personality to do so.
One of the best ways to raise children who spread hope and joy is to teach them to be encouragers. This is more than just a cheerleader. An encourager celebrates the good times with people, helps them pick themselves up after the bad times and helps them find the path God has for them.
