Don't we have enough to do without trying to run our children's lives?

Daughters
The other day, my day calendar had a great saying on it that I wanted to share. I liked it so much that I have placed it on my refrigerator. That way, when I want to tell them what they should do, I can step back and allow them their mistakes and pray that they will learn from them.

This struck home with me, because I want to be so careful that I don't put desires that I had as a young girl on my daughters. I have to realize that they are who they are and I need to let them be them. I am very proud of each of my four girls, ( ages 14 - 35). My only desire is that they walk with God and allow Him to lead and direct their paths.

You're right, I do like this one. I need to put in on my own fridge. Thanks for letting me make my own choices (maybe some mistakes) and loving me anyways!
ReplyDeleteI love this!!! I am stuggling with trying to be a loving, and non-judgemental Mom and Mom-in law!!! I also have to be aware as my grandchildren are also being raised in my home. I pray I can keep this is my mind as we all go along...
