Parenting?
I have so many things to say, yet so reluctant to knuckle down to write about it...

Parenting... a big word, trust me.
It's a verb, a noun, a lifestyle, a learning process.

The children taught me more than I know.
They taught me that they are individuals,
Each learning to become adults
As they navigate the course of life.

& we are to lead, to guide, to mentor, with a sound biblical base,
so that They, in turn,
can do the same to generations to come.

As I mentioned in "Get Real", we parents are growing up as well...
in our parenting skills, the trials and errors, the gives and takes
the negotiations, collaborations, cooperations.

Children are little people growing up
each equally loved by God, treasured by Him, accepted by Him...
Died for.....
by His only Son.

Therefore, our jobs are parents
perhaps is to Remember that.

We shouldn't forget that
we were children
once,
and perhaps,
should not be afraid of telling that to the children,
nor afraid of
failing, screwing up
for we too, are children,
Little people,
growing up in the Lord.
