Dear Parents

Raising Kids

The parent began chatting with God.

“Lord, “ began the parent, “I thank you for the gift of children.”

God smiles.

“What have you learnt about raising them?” inquired the Lord.

“Oh that’s easy! replied the parent. “I’ve kept notes!”

And so the parent shared parenting- wisdom with God.

• Don’t work so hard to give them ‘stuff’’. The ‘stuff’ that matters is your time and attention
• Don’t worry about ‘things’. The ‘thing’ that matters is your time and attention.
• Don’t fret so much about organising regimented ‘plans’. The ‘plan’ that matters is your time and attention.

God was impressed.

God knew that the secret to parenting had finally been discovered!

In the end,  the parents’ real teacher on how to raise children was….time, or another word-LOVE.

THOUGHTS

• Parenting is not always easy
• Some days are filled with guilt
• Don’t get trapped in guilt; make peace with it
• Other days are seamless, joyfilled experiences.
• Celebrate them as blessings
• No matter the parenting -style, God is a support in it all when done with love
• Trust.
