		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes you might be concerned about children who are not overweight, but they seem to gravitate toward sweets or "junk food" quite a bit. You want to look for indicators that would suggest that your child is harboring a greed for the sweets and is thereby turning off their natural biological feedback that would normally call for variety...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we discuss raising children with a heart for God instead of food, what can we do about children who are developing a passion for other worldly things? In other words, how can we get our children to focus on God instead of sports, music, video games, or the computer?...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[However, again, if eating is YOUR happiest time of day and if eating is what brightens up your eyes, then you will pass this passion down to your children. Instead, make sure they sense in you a passion for God’s Word and His will. Even if you are "secretly" lusting after extra food...]]></description>

We all want to be free and not be a slave to food or to anything on this earth. We do not want to pass our love for food down to our children along with the overweight and obesity that comes with it...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[God invites us to come to Him with all of our needs. Our major need should be that God’s will is done in our lives. Praying to God that HIS will be done in our lives - rather than our own will - requires true submission. You must trust that God knows what is best for us and He knows how best to answer our prayers. ]]></description>

We must learn to imitate Jesus Christ – not His appearance, but His HEART. The common denominator among God’s devoted children is that they are God-focused, with hearts desiring only to do the will of the Father...]]></description>
