Today I am reminded of why we must partner with Jesus when we parent. I need His gentle spirit to temper my impatience. His humble nature to counteract my pride. His wisdom to supercede my foolishness.
The lesson for me today is this: For as hard as we may try to parent our children the "right" way and teach them the "right" things, the most significant act we can do for both our families and ourselves is to place them in God's hands. Daily.
I love my kids. So much.
But, I am frustrated by disobedience.
I am annoyed with immature behaviour.
I am embarrassed by their poor decisions and lack of judgement.
And I am catching a glimpse at how God must view me.
Thank God He loves me. So much. And shows me grace on a daily basis.
May I be continually reminded to do the same with my kids.
