It makes my day to visit so many kind souls with wonder thoughtful posts. Raising teens! All my grey hair is due to my first born Noelle, today a mother herself. We still have a teen Nick 17 who will be a senior in high school. Hannah turns 20 this July. Rebekah 23 next Monday June 13th and Jeremy 26 this August. The trials and errors are particularly brutal even now. But I have come to rely on the Lord and whatever He leads me to I tend to follow. When I was a young mom I tried doing it my way! Life is complicated, I am glad I can hang onto the Lord. Thanks for this post.

We need to teach them to think Biblical thoughts and this will help a lot when they grow up.

We have much in common...we love Jesus...we have been married a long time...we have multiple children...my daughter will wed in 3 weeks!! I teach in a Christian high school and I would take a bevy of parents who had the humility, love and courage to see what they"wished they had done." There are so many parents today who want to support and justify their child's bad behavior. They blame the behavior on the school, friends, disorders but not the child. A parent who cares about the child's decisions and prays without ceasing for them is liquid gold to a teacher. I hope you will stop by to say hello and also follow me!! My blog is to specifically encourage women over 50 to become women of strength and dignity as Proverbs 31 says!!Pam @ over50feeling40https://www.blogger.com/profile/15271159201006142602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8046083858777525940.post-10093264978185049712011-06-02T18:51:31.857-07:002011-06-02T18:51:31.857-07:00Visiting from Java's Follow Friday.
