Parenting ourselves
You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. Luke 21:16
In these last days, we, as parents, have to figure out our part in the lives of our children. The ones that are still impressionable by others and the adult children we have. As a woman of God, I am responsible for the good and bad I dish out.
Proverbs 14:1 The wise woman builds her house but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. The house includes and ARE the children that are under that roof. We expect so much of them, but we are responsible for what we expect. We cannot ask them to not drink and drive if we do (I'm talking to the world). We cannot expect them to not do drugs, if we smoke cigarettes, marijuana and other things in front of them. We cannot expect them to be patient and control their anger if we cannot.
Have you looked at your child today and have seen any part of you that makes you cringe? If so, change you to help them. The days of 'do as I say and not as I do' is over. This is it for the Christian and the worldly parent. You cannot give up, but you will need help. Get on your knees and ask God for direction for YOUR house. Your child is depending on you.
