Raising Children

Part of the reason I go to my MOM2MOM meetings is to learn from ones that have already been where I am, to listen to others in distress, to lend a shoulder, give some sort of advice or support. I ran across this from a posting from my friend Julie J., and it really sums up what I am here for. I hope I remember! *** “The world may not applaud us for wiping running noses, driving in carpools, or talking with our teenager into the wee hours of the morning. And until they are trained, our children might not thank us either. But as we set aside our own selfish desires and glorify God by joyfully serving our children, we are pursuing true greatness according to the Bible. Let us do so with tenderness, affection, and with a smile!” – Carolyn Mahaney"
