They have taught me so much, even when they were little they stretched me by their innocence sometimes.

My favorite lines in the article are this, "It's as if we expect our blessing and our gifts to immediately benefit us, to automatically enhance our lives, and wrap us in luxury. But the gift of children is slightly different..." Such insight there.

I can't control her but can offer my own heart to God. "Show me what's in there, Lord," was my prayer. As parents, we can encourage our children to do the same. The result is often beautiful when we allow God to shape the Kristi Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238464794170307399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586909426061351037.post-46509584893289233712017-10-05T04:41:07.062-07:002017-10-05T04:41:07.062-07:00They are def. blessings.
