You wouldn't know it today as he is a man of integrity and of good character. He grew up. He eventually "got it." Your children will too<br /><br />Hang in there - even though you may not see positive results (tomorrow, next week, or perhaps even after several months, the positive results will eventually come. I am certain of it. <br /><br />Our Lord is faithful. You are raising your children "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord" and He will bless your efforts and grant you success - it just takes time as this is a long-term race that you are running - it is not a sprint. You will get to the finish line, just keep jogging every day :-)<br /><br />Your children are so blessed to have you two as their Daddy and Mommy. It is such a blessing for children to have a Daddy and Mommy that love them.<br /><br />"Run with patience the race that is set before you."<br /><br />Love,<br />DFIL in MIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772921478098122352.post-73983342594794698422010-11-30T00:16:09.704-05:002010-11-30T00:16:09.704-05:00Thank you for the wonderful, much needed, reminder...Thank you for the wonderful, much needed, reminder!<br /><br />God bless you and all the sweet babies you are chasing!<br />EliseElisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989809660311717995noreply@blogger.com
