preaching on parenting (2)

Well, I preached on parenting... and in so doing... my emotions sneaked up and mugged me in front of everyone in the church...

I cried as i thought about my desires for my dear children... and my parenting practice. I didn't intend to cry, in fact I can't stand it when it happens because everyone feels so awkward don't they... but there it is...

...and all i can say is that it was absolutely for real.

It matters. but one of the most helpful thoughts i had was this: God hasn't stopped parenting, and he won't stop parenting. My parenting doesn't negate his. That's good to know.
