Parenting thought...

I am sure that everyone feels like a bad parent, and I do often ;) But I came across this reminder today and i liked it...

"To set our house in an order pleasing to the Lord, we need to do it His way. We are to employ His attributes of “righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, [and] meekness......Parents are to be living examples of “kindness, and pure knowledge, which … greatly enlarge the soul.” Each mother and father should lay aside selfish interests and avoid any thought of hypocrisy, physical force, or evil speaking. Parents soon learn that each child has an inborn yearning to be free. Each individual wants to make his or her own way. No one wants to be restrained, even by a well-intentioned parent. But all of us can cling to the Lord."

Russell M. Nelson

Love it!

We are doing Thanksgiving at our house, just our li'l family. Since I'm working retail (only part-time) and holidays are crazy you pretty much DON'T get time off. So this year we decided to embrace it. Any chance we could include you guys, hmmmmmm? We've got more than a 1-bedroom apartment these days :)

Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to
be on the internet the easiest thing to
be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries
that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon
the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal.

Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
