My Kids

Good morning family. Happy 4th of July. If you don't have any plans today, stop by for a plate and conversation. We didn't make official plans for today either but as always, there will be food. I went to bed with my children on my mind. Thinking about how blessed I've been over the years. Anyone with children knows that it's not easy being a parent. We make mistakes and sometimes don't know the right things to say. I think the hardest part for me has been learning how to talk to my kids now that they're grown. It's easy to give orders and discipline them when they're younger but when they become adults you have to manuever the lines. I don't like getting in their business unless they ask me to. I guess what I'm trying to say is I love my kids and I want the best for them. This morning I pray for me and all parents, whether you have newborns, tolders, tweens or adult children. Heavenly Father, I pray that we keep an open line of communication, I pray that we look on the bright side even in the darkest times, I pray that we honor the blessing/blessings God has given us as parents, I pray that we be patient as our children move through life, I pray that we respect the choices our children make (don't have to agree with them), I pray that we be supportive and give them the benefit of a doubt and lastly, I pray for the courage/energy/resources to support their dreams. In Jesus' Name, AMEN. Remembering Cedric this morning, the 4thwas one of his favorite holidays. TeamLoveMyKids. Bblessedloveyou.
