As parents we naturally want the best for our children. We hope to keep them from heartache and pain. We want them to be successful and happy.
Society sends very mixed messages to parents about how to make their kids happy.
We need to remember that what our children need, more than anything, is US. They need listening ears and loving arms.

DO YOU EVER FEEL THAT INTERNAL "CALL" TO DO BETTER?

Happy Monday!
You're right - a perfect message to start the week. I can't tell you how many nights I lay in bed at night and think "I will do better tomorrow." We only have this time to raise our children once, so we need to make the most of it!
ReplyDeleteGreat reminder. Sometimes we get caught up in so many things that don't matter and those that matter most, suffer most.
