A Reminder for Parents
Parents…
…do you ever get frustrated because your children do something wrong after you’ve told them what was right?
…have you ever been hurt because your “good child” did something truly rebellious?
…do you ever wonder how this kid could be so foolish?
…do you ever feel pain because you want to spend time with your child, only to see them choose something else?
…have you ever talked and talked to your child about right and wrong and felt as if you were talking to a brick wall?
…do you ever dream of a better future for your children, but wonder if they actually want to do better?
…have you ever laid awake at night thinking through a problem?
…do you feel as if you desire better things for your kids than they desire for themselves?
…have your children ever shown a sense of entitlement and it just makes you angry?
…do you ever just ache for more time with your children, only to see them spurn opportunities?
Then maybe, just maybe, you can understand some of how God, the Father, feels about you.
