Parenting 001

I just finished reading a fabulous article on parenting (thanks, Tina!), and I just had to share it with you! You can read it here.

This article really touched my heart. I laughed when he imitated countless conversations that I have had with my children, relating with him all too well, then I cried towards the end, and groaned several times throughout. I might just be overly emotional (no, not pregnant), but I really encourage you to take a moment and read through it. He sums it all up at the end by saying about his children: I want them to look back and think, “I’m not sure what my parents were doing or if they even knew what they were doing. But I always knew my parents loved me and I knew they loved Jesus.” Maybe it’s not that complicated after all.

Amen!
