I have been thinking about firstborn children lately.
Do you have a child or children? My son just turned 3 last month
and I was thinking about how God gives us so much grace with our children.
Especially, our first child because even if you have been around kids forever
it's just not the same as being the one responsible for
how your child grows and learns and becomes the adult
they are meant to be.
Sometimes it seems like the days will never end,
your child just wants to complain about everything
or they just want you to sit and hold them all day.
Those times it's hard when you need to do dishes
and laundry and clean the house and all of the other
millions of things we as parents/wives/women have to do.
Then there are those times you look back and realize
just how fast time is going. It is so hard for me to believe
that my child is already 3. It seems like it was just a few months
ago that I had him.
Recently, I was speaking to my Mom and she was
telling me about some things she wishes she had done
differently with my oldest brother, her firstborn. It got me to
thinking about how all of us as women struggle with questions like,
"Are we doing a good job? Did we do enough? Are we training them
up how they should be?" All very good questions and the
only answer is, WE DO THE BEST WE CAN THE BEST
WAY WE KNOW HOW TO DO.
I heard on a TV Show today, Don't live above your means,
Dream above your means. Reach for the stars ladies,
You are doing a fabulous job. Keep going even when
you feel that you are all alone or at the end of your rope.
Keep going. You are doing amazing things.
