Here's to maintaining some self-respect and sanity while tending to the growth and maturation of young minds, including your own young mind. Here's to recognizing that it isn't necessary to know how everything is going to turn out in advance, and that often Life has much better in store than one can imagine. Here's to hope and happiness even when Life gets complicated, especially then... That's when it's needed it most.

...afterall, the car may only seat seven but room for friends is unlimited...

Daily Prayer

These are the things I hope to do each day with my children:

Show them love. Strengthen our relationship.

Listen to their words. Hear their hearts.

Teach them correct principles. Offer new ways of looking at situations.

Encourage their good choices. Open their eyes to the consequences of their choices.

Maintain my cool when they are headed off the deep end.

Give them opportunites to work. Help them to feel that they are a Part of something wonderful
