I had a great conversation this morning with a friend and it led to the meaning of the Lord’s standards. What exactly does that mean? Are we truly living by His standards?
Unfortunately we live in a very ‘materialistic’ world and often care about what people say or think about us. If we live our lives to please Our Father and no one else, we will live a much more fulfilling life. It is normal for us to worry about finances and how we will support our families, but we must learn to pray and not live our lives beyond our means.
Where does the time go? Have you wondered that? Well today I am a little melancholy, because tomorrow my first baby will turn 17!!
I can remember going through the labor pains with her and now she will be 17! Where does the time go?
She has become a beautiful young lady who is intelligent and has great confidence.
There are moments when I still see the ‘little girl’ in her but for the most part she is a young lady now. Although it is still a bit difficult for her, because she is no longer a little girl, but not quite an adult. The fear is setting in knowing that soon she will be on her own. Independence is something we all longed for, but when time approaches we have second thoughts.
Having 5 children is no easy task!! And trying to raise them with high self-esteem is even harder!!
We try to instill values and morals in our children on a daily basis and pray that we have reared them in the right direction. But it can be very stressful!!
As a child I was taught never to give up!! Always work hard and try to be the best at all you set out to do. I thank my parents for making me the person that I am today. Mind you at the time, I didn’t like their rearing tactics, but I now know that they were doing the best that they could at the time. All they ever wanted was the best for me and didn’t ever want me to settle for less.
