"Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from Him"
(Psalm 127:3).
As he was trying to decide on his courses for next year, I suggested the parenting course.
"Mom, I don't need to take that; parenting is easy".
I had no words.
I have read tons of parenting books, and I continue to do so. I continue to learn new things all the time, and I know for certain that parenting is not easy.
No matter how many books I read or advice I receive (whether I want it or not), I feel that I will never get it right.
However, I also know for certain that parenting is one of the greatest blessings there is! Amidst the trial and error, I also know for certain that God's grace is sufficient. His mercies are new every morning and He gives us the strength and patience that we need.
He pours the blessings on us every day with the sounds of laughter, time spent playing games together, stories being told, eating meals together, participating in common interests, working together, playing together, sharing our love, practicing forgiveness, having fun with everyday activities, and constantly making new memories together!!!
I am so grateful for the blessing of parenting my precious four children (and soon to be five!!!)
Continuing to give thanks...
