What great words of wisdom. While reading your post Elizabeth came to mind a very important lesson my parents taught us. How honest were my Mom and Dad when they sat down and told us, God loves and knows you better than we do. Other than our love and that we are the two people that were chosen to guide you through life, God is the only constant and forever you will ever have. Seek him first. My parents spoke often in everyday life of the graces of God, came with us to church, talked about forgiveness and in our early teens explained that our relationship with God had nothing to do with one religion. It is such an awesome feeling that as a family we have always been open to ask one another for prayer and support. I believe that is the greatest gift you can ever teach your children.
By the way, the angel crib metal that was given to me at birth is hanging over our crib now. It was an awesome feeling when my niece recognized it and reminded me of the many talks that it inspired.
Have A Great Day, Nita
