Often times being a parent is HARD! You feel like you spend all of your time feeding and cleaning them and they still complain and whine. You really wonder when you will have time for the important stuff you should be teaching them when you are just trying to get them to keep things out of their mouths and noses.
Then there are those moments that make your heart swell with pride! And you realize that maybe, just maybe some of the important things are getting through.

I had one of those moments the other day. I was cleaning up the desk in the office/school room. I found this index card.
Hallie got a bracelet for Christmas that has a locket on it. The card with the bracelet says you should write a prayer and place it in the locket. This what Hallie wrote, but she could not fold the index card small enough to go in the locket. I guess we will have to help her with that. I think this prayer from an 8 year old could be one all of us could pray! Just thought I would share. Now I have faces to wash!
Splendid, Hallie! Oh yeah, mom, you're doin' pretty good, too!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that Jennifer. You are great parents and have great children!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a great job and setting a wonderful example to so many - including your children. Keep it up! We love you and pray daily for you!
ReplyDeleteWOW! That is so awesome. Never doubt that y'all are doing a great job with your kids. I know that's easier said than done, but it's true. Everything we say and do (even if we don't think it's a teaching moment) is taken in by our little ones. Hallie is such a sweet girl and she's at the age that this experience in her life is going to impact her to do great things for the Lord!
