Day 32 - parenting


Today was a particularly difficult parenting day.  I take discipline issues too personally sometimes and I know I can't do that as a parent.   I can't seem to finish a thought about a certain character trait that she needs help learning without realizing it applies to me first.  Even though I thought I'd pull my hair out today, I am aware that God has so perfectly placed us together as mother and daughter.

beautiful picture. Nice bokeh. :) It's great you recognize that. I will *try* to think of it that way with Mr. M. I know that is true.

What a beautiful picture of Calista! Parenting, as I have painfully and joyfully discovered, is a continuous learning experience. No matter how sucessful we are, there will always be days when your children will prove us wrong. I agree with you in that God assigns the right children with the parents who can handle them best.
