Parenting is just plain hard sometimes. Parenting is also a huge blessing in which hopefully good and pleasant fruit can be seen and harvested, for whatever we do, fruit *WILL*grow. I have experienced both the "just plumb hard" and the blessing of beautiful fruit today, and I am exhausted. But I thank God for guiding in His wise way...patiently working through the "players" to become better with communication and working THROUGH the hard stuff, instead of running away or quitting.
It can be a scary and intimidating task and journey knowing the gravity of the responsibility that God allows us to mold others, but also allows us to be molded in this process of growing up. We have to allow room for that, too.
God bless us all, as we strive to live with integrity.

I had a rough day yesterday too. Thankfully, a good friend and a good example prevailed and the late afternoon and evening were more peaceful.
(This is just going to happen when you have big sinners raising little sinners. Hmm. But the Lord knows what He is doing. His ways our not our ways...)
Uggh!! I apologize for the typo. His ways *are* not our ways!!
