She carries her children’s joy and sorrow. She carries their goodness and pain. And every night she casts ALL the things she’s carrying off to Jesus as she prays over her children’s souls.
Our main job as parents is to help our children navigate life. REAL LIFE. And that means talking to them about the hard stuff.
Maybe we knock ourselves out trying to give them everything…but then our kid will remember how we lost our temper or rolled our eyes or apparently ‘always’ forgot to bring soccer treats.
I’ll do it anyway…because that’s just what moms do.
You’re so squished right smack in the middle of five kids. But then I watch you for a while, And I realize God put you exactly where you are for a reason.
Do we remember to DELIGHT in our children???
I make the hard decisions. I follow through. And it sucks. They whine and complain and their faces turn into little scowls. They tell me it isn’t fair. Apparently, NO ONE ELSE has parents like this!!!
I don't have a baby anymore...and, suddenly, for the first time it's okay because I know I will NEVER FORGET.
Please God, help me be a patient mom… All too often I am impatient.
One of my main jobs as a parent is helping my children GROW UP.
The truth is most of our lives are lived in the ordinary moments every single day with the people standing right beside us.
That's the ultimate goal, right? To do our very best and love them like crazy and just enjoy these fleeting Kid Years as best we can???
