Isn't That The Truth

A quotation...
"Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them."

I'm sorry on behalf of all of us.

I meant it more from the perspective that *I* have no idea what I'm doing. I didn't mean to offend...I'm glad for any advice I can get:)

Most parents have that feeling! Unfortunately, kids don't come with manuals. But, any decision you make for your children - you do with their best interest in mind. There will be times, looking back, that there will be choices that should have been made differently. And events that you wished unfolded differently.
And, you WILL make mistakes - we all have; on a good note: my kids turned out just fine in spite of their parents. And have made good choices of their own - including their choice of their life-long mate!
Raise your children by making decisions prayerfully; God will make all things turn out well in His good time. Our evening devotions would always include prayers for our children, that their footsteps would lead to God - and He has answered that prayer.
