Where A Kid Can Be A kid

Good morning family. First day of school. Baby Cory is going to Lone Star Elementary as a kindergartner. Charm Marie and Ava are going to John E Ford for K3. This is Nadya's first year in middle school. Shatiya and Josh are freshmen, Devin is a seniour, Mia and Manny are third graders, Samyah is in second grade and Simmie and Jocelyn are middle schoolers (so proud). Time flies when you're having fun. Parenting has to be the hardest job next to being someone's spouse. Both take patience, attention and love. For anyone that's in a "co-parenting" relationship, I pray you organize your thoughts and actions based on what's best for your children. Remember, children are maturing and don't understand why their parents aren't together/why their parents argue. All they know at this stage is that they love their mom and dad. This morning I ask and thank God on your behalf for allowing you to be a parent. Heavenly Father I come to You this morning acknowledging Your gift of life. Thanking You for allowing us to raise and support our children. Asking You Father God to direct and lead us in a role that is so important. Lord clear our hearts/minds so that we can do right by Your gift. Remove those thoughts of self-pity so that we're able to see the beauty of being a parent. Lord take away those nasty words that we use to describe others. No more pointing fingers, Father, just peace and harmony as we continue giving our children full support. God, I thank You especially for my children (all of them). For the ones You gave me and for the ones You sent me. Father, letting (all) of them know that I love them, I'm proud of them and I wish only the best for them. Lastly Father, reminding all the young fathers and mothers that time is short, don't spend it fighting each other, spend it loving your children, filling their days with the "best" memories, they won't be kids much longer.
