Fat-souled Children

We want fat-souled children. We want them to have full, faithful lives--joyful, balanced, and lovely. But wisdom doesn't happen passively. It takes a diligent household and constant prayer, but with that He promises that "the soul of the diligent shall be made fat" (Prov. 13:4). That should be our prayer: Lord enable us to raise children with fat souls. "He that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat" (Prov. 28:25).
