I'm a single 37 year old. Never married never had children. I pray my blessings are to come. But watching your channel is so real. Raw and I feel like you don't TRY to people please. You are YOU and it's beautiful so I'm here to watch and learn even if I'm not a mother ❣️
Well said Jeanine! Throughout my life I have been blessed with some very wonderfully beautiful people... they have shared time with me, shared experiences with me and taught me healthy attitudes and practices. They also allowed me to have time with them while they took care of everyday things at home and sometimes at work. All in all I must say they taught me many wonderful and healthy ways of viewing life and all it can bring to a person and some of these folks were not my biological parents yet took on the roll of parent or mentor because they cared. They have inspired me to bring that caring forward and with God's grace, understanding and guidance I make every attempt. This care I learned was for all ages as we are all children of God, I believe, so I continue learning and sharing. At time I supplemented our income by taking on work that I did from home, while devoting my time to raising my daughter and two nieces, and eventually my grandson. Sometimes I worked outside of our home and I made sure that they were welcome there too. I continued this trend while other children were in my care... Child care was shared with those of us who were comfortable with each others care practices. The children and I also shared our home and time with those who's parents needed to work... our home was their home and our care was there for all. They were all 'my children' and I enjoyed my time with each and every one of them. I have been blessed as they continue to share their time and little ones with me too. I feel it is like a circle that keeps on giving. God Bless you for your insight and God Bless your beautiful family as well. With love and good wishes. Linda ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dearest Jeanine, I’m 72 years old and I will be a parent forever. Our children are in their 50s, but they all deal with issues unique to those years. We will always worry, help, rescue, assist, love, and forgive. Always filled with the love and grace from God.
My days of parenting are over. All my children are grown, but I am still called to be a light for them and still need God's Grace. A huge THANK YOU for the time you spend for us.❤
“Go home and love your family!” That really hit me today. That is what I desire. (I am a stay at home mom, but I want to enjoy what I do as unto the Lord.)
Thank you. This is so real. My Son has seven children. Three if them have left home and live in a different Country. They share an Apartment. Two work at the same Restaurant the other in another field something to do with Computers. They have good jobs and are in constant contact with their Parents an other Siblings. The are doing very well. It is good to see and know. My Son told me once that the mist meaningful thin in his lufw was that no matter where he went how long he was gone he knew he could return home and know I was there waiting for him. My Son and his wife did the same for their children. Dinner time conversations about what was going on in school, play outongs with friends and such. Now they communicate daily from far away, that is so awesome to Witness. You are so very right.
60 years now. Raised three children and sadly three never made it. Grandma to girls and boys and now full time carer to my 94 year old Mom. I have been looked down on and belittled but I have learnt so much in all the years and to rejoice in the grace of God. Parenting and caring is priceless and the world is a sadder place for the economic need for two incomes so that many are torn between the world and their family.
I couldn’t love this more. My five boys- men now, are grown, but they still need me. You don’t ever really get done being a parent but it definitely changes. I made so many mistakes but I’ve asked God to redeem my mistakes and said I’m sorry. God has been so faithful. I did love well, thanks to God! Now I’m a grandma to 4 and oh how precious they are. Now I cheer their parents on and pray. God is so good and faithful and I’m so thankful for His grace! ❤️🥰-Joanna
Thank you for this. I'm a homeschooling, stay-at-home mom of a special needs child and have often felt invisible in my community because I'm not using my college degree or earning money or serving on a board or whatever. But I am teaching my son about Jesus! I really loved this post.
My MIL told me I was wasting my life because I am homeschooling my kids and I am not using my degrees at a job. God has not called me to follow the world, but Him. He has without question called me to homeschool and I am accountable to Him and not my MIL and others. No job or amount of money is worth losing the hearts and souls of my children. We live on one income and God has been faithful. Keep your eyes on Jesus.
Words of wisdom for all Mamas out there! I am a homeschooling, stay at home Mom of 7….. a few years ago I realized that our ministry was stealing way too much of my time with my children. I was starting to feel very depressed and anxious. I suffered with anxiety attacks. I felt like I could never do enough to help people and everyone was pulling at me in all directions. I started to resent my children and I wondered why I was having so much trouble homeschooling and running a ministry. After a lot of prayer, I heard God say to walk away from the ministry. I heard him say that my children are my first ministry and I am neglecting them to take care of other peoples children. I quit and I have never looked back. My depression went away. My anxiety attacks went away. I realize that being a stay at home mom to seven children and home schooling and raising them to know and love our Lord Jesus is enough. I don’t have to do anything else for anyone else. This is the most important job that I can do. I wish that I had seen this video a few years ago when I was really suffering. I hope that other women will see this and God will speak the same words of wisdom to them. Our children need us. They need all of us. Thank you for sharing this. I know that God spoke directly through you because I heard him telling me the same words a few years ago.
❤️ the message in this video! I am an at home childcare provider and mother of 6. My calling was/is to be a mum. And it's with great joy that I get to nurture and love so many children aswell as my own.
Nothing is more important to raising children. Mother Theresa's quote is true for all. I always said I would only have them if I could keep them locked up till they are 19. I thanked God many times that He didn't give me children, cause I would be a nervous wreck and so afraid something bad would happen to them. Well, my husband and I were adopted by 2 young couples and calls us their gay dads and they now have 3 baby girls that call me Papa and my hubby Tata(as he is spnish). My point here is that my heart is full and yes I worry everyday about them but they have a deep respect for my Christian belief that they raise their children to be God's loving children. I really liked the one Jenine. Thanks for sharing as I have aged enough to understand more but that is because ou Lord and savior has and continues to show me the way. God Bless.
I always look forward to your messages and videos. We do not have children, but for me- it’s wisdom I can grab on to, to hear the heart cry of parenting. I want to understand other’s struggles. Being childless has its struggles and strong points as well as parenting. All this to day, I couldn’t just skip ahead, I love the great advice that’s available that our parents didn’t have. THANK YOU, appreciate your Godly perspective! - Mattie
I am a 70 year old mother of four and a grandmother of seven. So much of what you talked about really hit home. Even though my children are all grown, a lot of what you said and read can be used in those relationships and also with my grandchildren. Thank you so much for this video.
My children are raised and I still make mistakes with them and they are parents of children and married adults!! It’s hard when you look back at your mistakes and not knowing which ones were the worst when you’re children won’t really tell because they don’t want to hurt your feelings!! So parents read this book!! You will never regret the knowledge you will get from it!!!
What wonderful content! My children are young adults now but I really related to so much of what you said. I'm so thankful they are beautiful young Christians now and serving the Lord in many different areas. it is so worth every tear, every sleepless night, every prayer and every struggle to see them where they are now. You have such a beautiful heart and your children are so very blessed to have you as their mother. It's easy to see how you and Nolan adore them. I encourage you to keep loving them deeply. Keep smothering with them with your prayers. I encourage you to keep being consistent even when it feels like you are not getting anywhere. You ARE getting somewhere because consistency really does work. God bless you and your family!!!!
That was SO inspiring. I'm a grandparent with no children at home, but I hope I can influence my children and grandchildren with that loving godly spirit and continue to nurture our relationship until my time is up.
I had to rewatch this twice cuz i sobbed through the first time. I get what you’re saying 100%, because i come from a family of 13 kids, and i used to be that bitter child whose parents were absent, in ministry or other children. Obviously thats behind me but im also raising a child now and i do soak in every moment with him because i understand things differently now. I am a stay at home mom and people do often make me feel like I’m insignificant/ or not doing enough. Although i had a chance at career, its hard overall. Thank you for making this video. You’re a God sent, honestly!!! 🥹♥️🤗
I usually catch your videos within a day of release, but we had company, then this and that so I didn't get to it until today. Today is when I needed to hear this, though. GOD IS SO GOOD! I agree with you. The hand that rocks the cradle IS the hand that rules the world. So many people do exactly what you have described and they have a whole mess of regret when they realize that they one precious ministry they had directly from God was pushed off in search of other "higher" ministries. We put a level of importance on ministries based on how many are reached and we miss out on what God has in store for us.
Thank you so much!! I am a stay at home Mom and it can be lonely at times. I have dealt with a lot of miscarriages and we lost our daughter in 2020. We were told that we may never be able to have another child and God saw fit to bless us with our sweet little girl! She is four months old and we are so thankful. Most days I feel so inadequate but with God's grace I am doing His work. My husband is so wonderful and he has the same mindset. We are pouring everything into our sweet girl and teaching her about Jesus is the most important job I'll ever have!
I just love your channell My father grew up in a Mennonite community in Ohio. So I saw a lot of the things your pointing out (horse and buggies, Amish walking down the side of the road or riding bikes). Brings back so many childhood memories! The best ever baby swiss sold on a roadside stand plus tomatoes, corn, honey, flowers
I totally agree with you. When my kids were kids at home , I did feel useless sometimes. Now that I have grandchildren I feel like I need to help guide them sometimes. I’m talking about guiding them in a Christian walk. When I see them. I feel that God is telling me to pray for them and if that is all I can do, his says,that’s OK. I hope this makes some sense.
You are changing the world with your channel. Blessings on you and your family. Thank you for this message; as it is so true, our families are our first ministries🙏🏽
I definitely felt God call me to be a mother. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed staying home with my children. I never really compared myself to other moms. It was just something I felt confident about. I think one good thing was that there wasn't social media and we didn't have computers or cable tv. I was just living my life and doing my thing. Of course there were trying times and days that didn't go as planned. I have to say that I'm so glad that I listened to God when I was 12 and he clearly spoke to my heart about being a mom.
Being a Mom was the one thing I truly wanted in life and I was blessed with a son. While he's a grown man now it was and still is the most fulfilling thing I've ever done in my life. I'm blessed with the fact that he's successful and is very much in love with the woman he married.
This book sounds wonderful! I'm a grandma now and I wish I had it when I was raising my children! Your content is exemplary and I truly believe that whilst your children are at home that is to be your ministry! There's always prayerfully plenty of time to participate in other ministries afterwards!
I NEEDED this. As a Christian homeschooling mother, I feel the need to always be serving in different ministry things. I want to do them all! But Everytime I do not set boundaries for my family… I am short tempered and overwhelmed and lash out at my family. How is that God’s work?? I needed this reminder! My children are the most important ministry in my life right now! Thank you so much!!! ❤
Oh Lydia! I am in the same boat. Homeschooling Mama to some says "Available"?? My church, extended family, and friends seem to think that my life must be empty and we must sit around all day? lol. The guilt and pressure they can put on my boundaries is REAL. I will be praying for you to have the strength and the resolve to keep your priorities in line and feel the significance of what you do every day. It seems like such a small thing we are doing sometimes, but every time I pray, The Lord reminds me that this is my current calling. It isn't a secondary calling, it is my PRIMARY calling, and He needs me to do it well and put it FIRST! Love, hugs, and prayers to you!
@@pattersonfamily9068 I am so thankful to know I’m not alone in this! It definitely feels like that… everyone thinks “homeschooling mama… you have all the time in the world.” But homeschooling 4 kids and trying to do the work of training kids is more than a full-time job! And for me when I do help others out of the home because I want to, but also feel obligated to… my family always suffers in some way. I need to pray to remember that THIS is the job the Lord has for me now. Thanks so much for your encouragement! It feels great to know I’m not alone. 😘
Amen! What a beautifully stated and important message! The only thing I would add is Moms and Dads love and respect each other. It is so important for your children to see that. I am an empty nester now and wish there were SO many things I could go back and do differently. All the things you talked about I wish that I had done more of. Prayers for you young parents to see what a wonderful blessing your children are and that the time passes much too quickly.
I'm a long time viewer and have neglected telling you how much I enjoy ALL of your videos. You take such care (and lots of time) in editing and making your work so very engaging. Thank you so much for sharing your life and views in such a professional and interesting way. I appreciate you and your family. Love from Michigan.
I absolutely loved being a stay at home Mum. My husband however turned my role into a reason to put me down. Not just to me but also to our friends. He wanted me to be in that role for obvious reasons but never did he uphold my lifestyle. We are now divorced and our children have gone on to live happy and valuable lives. I would like to say because of me and not because of him.
Thank you, I needed this today. As a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom of two girls 14 and 9, it is so easy to feel "lost" most days but I believe God has given me inner strength and grace to raise my girls...there is no other more important job. Much love to you and your family from Ontario, Canada.
I was raised in a broken home. I had a very abusive father, alcoholic ran away as a child, kicked around by family passed from one person to the next never felt stability. As an adult sadly I've dated abusive men. (Trying to break the habit but man it's hard.) I tend not to get into much trouble and keep to myself now because. I'm afraid of people frankly. This is the SHORT story of how a broken home child grows up. Even if my head is on strong. I'm a good person true and free of evil things... The habits of our childhood still are instilled deep and ever so hard to reverse. I was grateful for my grandmother bringing me to Sunday school and Wednesdays at church it was my saviour. I'm not perfect now and still constantly working on this. Even as a 37 yr old woman. But I will never lose hope that I will find a good man and I will settle and feel content and safe.
Wow! Such wisdom. I hope many take this wisdom and apply it to their own lives. I asked myself the same questions when raising my own. And as you said time goes so fast. Thanks for sharing. Perhaps I can purchase this book in the future for parents. Blessings.
This is super, Jeanine! I couldn't agree more when you said we need to accept God's grace and forgiveness now!!! To focus on Him now is so rewarding and life changing! My youngest is 13 and my oldest 24. Time really does fly & I wish I wouldn't have gotten so stressed out when the children were little. This is excellent!!! Thanks for sharing & God bless your mothering!
Interesting how watching a you tube mom makes you feel like her sister or very close friend. I admire your conservative yet professionalism character,dress code and everything!
I'm an empty-nest,single-mom of three boys. I've commented a couple times on your videos regarding the blessing/pleasure that I experience when I get to see, listen, and enjoy your sweet little boy, Xander. Xander is definitely an extension of your ministry and an example of God's grace extending to me, a lonely mom, that knows of no greater treasure than time enjoyed with a loving little boy. Of all the things I have done in my life, my boys are my very favorite. Thanks to you and Nolan. Thanks also to Xander for blessing me with his smile and wit. God bless you and keep you.
Great video and very much needed. I agree with your thoughts and views on family and ministry. It's more meaningful if you incorporate your ministry into your family than to incorporate your family into your ministry. Your family is your greatest ministry. I love the quote by Mother Teresa. Please continue doing these thought provoking videos. God bless you and your family.
Ouch, you stepped on my toes! I’ve been wrestling with this issue this week. If I’m discontent as a mother am I saying that God’s ministry for me at this time isn’t big enough? And isn’t that a pride issue? Thank you for being vulnerable and honest.
As I raised my two children I would pray that my husband and I would parent each child as they needed to be parented. Each child needed a different type of parenting.
Thanks for sharing this! I have been reading the same book and found it very impactful as well. My husband and I have two little girls and also feel called to serve in different ways. We are learning and praying over these matters and feel that our little ones are definitely our first mission field. We have included them in some of our other small mission trips and although it takes more efforts , it has been wonderful to see what it does for them as well as us. It seems children have a special way of blessing others and bringing a smile to faces. Thanks for sharing. It's easy as a mom to feel missed in society.
45 years ago I wanted nothing more than to stay home and raise my children. Unfortunately, my husband had a difference of opinion and insisted I had to go to work. We had our own bakery and he needed my help. Of course I understood and helped him out but I always felt so guilty for being at work. I brought my children to work with me because we couldn’t afford to pay a sitter too. My children would get so bored that we would put them to work just so we could get our jobs done. While I felt so terrible and thought I was such a terrible mother my children have wonderful memories of the time they spent in the bakery and credit us with teaching them wonderful work ethic’s because they went to work with us.
God bless you for your message. The world's values are upside down. Thanks for putting them right side up. I was a stay at home mom, and I knew that society did not value my work. Did not value children, or the work of keeping the home. Yet this was hard work and very important.
I love the Mother Teresa quote! Thank you for reminding us how important parenting is. I'm well past having children. I sure wish I had these important messages when my children were young.
This was so amazing. Although our children are grown and gone we are raising a granddaughter. She is 11 and came to us at 2.5. Thank you doesn't seem enough words but what you just shared is a ministry in itself!!!
Thanks so much for this video. You have conveyed perfectly what I have long struggled to put into words. Definitely want to get the book. May God bless your parenting journey!!
Very well said, Jeanine, and such a blessing to YOU that you are so aware of this at the early stages of child rearing. I was thinking that this is an area where Mennonite/Amish have an extra layer of protection than other Catholic/Christian families. We are battling secular culture the moment the kids are school age or old enough to socialize and even within "Church" schools. (Not sure if that is an issue for the Mennonite/Amish). Another advantage you have is your dating culture. You probably have a higher percentage of healthy marriages where both partners have the same life perspective and where God is a priority for both. Certainly every Catholic/Christian couple can benefit from what you said, but it will entail building a core group of like-minded families to strengthen the lessons the parents want to instill and to mitigate the assault on family values and faith. Even without those protections, I totally agree that prayer, relying on Grace, speaking the truth in love is planting seeds that may flourish later even if it looks like we failed, because God desires the conversion of the sinner and not his destruction. Love the Mother Teresa quote. She had another little one about improving one's marriage by "smiling at one another". If you like her style, I would recommend "The Story of a Soul", an autobiography of St. Theresa of the Child Jesus. Her motto was, "do little things with great love". She said if you pick up a pin for love of God, you have done a good and pleased God. Without ever leaving a monastery she entered at age 16 until her death at around 33, she has changed the lives of millions writing an autobiography her sister, also at the monastery, ordered her to write under holy obedience. As she tried to live her vocation, Theresa realized her vocation was "to love!" Isn't it the same for all of us! Will definitely recommend Mr. Tripp's book to young parents!
Thank you for this message. Sometimes it can be so difficult being a parent. All of my children are grown adults. Unfortunately, we didn't do our best to bring them up with a steady Christian upbringing. As adults we often talk with them about our growing faith. Our daughters are more willing to listen but we won't give up on our sons. Thank you again. ❤🙏
I agree with you. And it's so hard to figure out what ministry's to help with. But I read years ago that there is such a thing as too many good things. So I try to keep that in my mind
Totally agree. The thing I suffer from is hindsight. I look back and see that I could have done much better. I love God’s grace (although undeserved) but I have never been good at extending grace to myself.
I agree with you 💯, are shildren are all grown up and married, except the last one is getting married in December, we have 27 grandchildren, we can be there and show love to them that I love to do wen I can, I wish I had this kind of video and books back thin wen are shildren wur Liddell, but I still can do my best now ❤️ thanks for sharing
Such a great video! I really enjoyed hearing you address this issue. Being available for our children is the best thing we can do for them. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Raising children to be responsible, loving and kind is the most important job in the world! They want to be loved and have boundaries even when they don't act like it. All the while teaching them all you can about Jesus. Very encouraging video! God bless all the young Mom's our there.
Beautiful words in his book! God’s Grace!!!! Parenting is the most important job you can do. We are enjoying watching our 4 now raise theirs. Hedging them with love and prayers!!!
Hi Jeanine... I'm 77 mother of 2 grown girls. They were never able to have children so I'll never be able to experience being a grandma. I had to work when my girls were growing up because we had so many medical bills that my husbands salary just wasn't enough so I had to work. What I wouldn't have given to be a stay at home mom. I made most of all their their clothes and cut coupons before it became popular to do so even though I worked. I was very strict so they would learn to grow up to be a good and Worthing person. Also taught them about Jesus and sent them to a good Catholic school. The love of Jesus is important to me to teach your children about God and His Son. But they did grow up to be wonderful women but I missed a lot by working. I was caught between a rock and a hard place. My oldest daughter won't forgive me but it was because she was born with health issues some that the doctors back then weren't aware of till 30 yrs. ago and are still learning so I'm sorry but I did the best we could for her. She's turned so mean lately I don't know what to do but pray consistently. She's divorced and the night she came to me 18 yrs.ago (my husband had passed away the year before so I was alone) I made room for her and her 3 kitties and was glad to do so and have Never brought it up to her but I don't know how to make her understand how much I love her even though she's mean to me. I just wish I could go back in time but we know that's impossible. Maybe if I had stayed home things would be different now. I hope and pray the young mothers who watch your RU-vid channel will listen to what you have to say because you young mothers have so many more things available to you that we didn't have back then. I love your little family God Bless You LuvYa! Bye from Ohio
I’m so sorry 😢 I whispered a prayer for you 🙏 I heard a quote not long ago from an older mother ,she said we do the best we can with what we know at the time . I Am 59 all of our seven children are grown . We have a son who blames us ,and yes if only I could go back and do some things over , but we did the best we could with what we knew at the time . A mothers love never gives up !Keep on 🙏
Love how you are lovingly responding to many Mamas hearts, as I mention below we can be our own worst critic. You are encouraging and thoughtful. Being a mother, a father…”Parent” and even equally important is the role of the “grandparents” and even “great grandparents” in the wisdom that the can bring to “the family” it is not a competition, but I believe this is a message the world shouts and it gets louder and louder. 😳😬😳 Let us each encourage one another, and give His grace, that he freely give to each one of us🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 Bless you and your “at home ministry” ❤️🙏🏼❤️✝️ Love your channel and this topic of parenting is so much needed and I agree we have a BIG God and his LOVE for ALL of us is unending, he will cover a multitude of flaws. A prayer I prayed/asked to God us that he would stand in the GAP where I fell short🙏🏼🙏🏼 It’s not an excuse or a cop out to not be fully engaged, but as you mentioned, life does throw us curve balls. May HIS grace be enough for where we ALL are at, at anyone moment. It’s not about the “Jones’ “ This was a very well done chat, love it❤️ great encouragement for ALL mom/mums…of all generations. We as Mom’s can beat ourselves up for what we should have, could have done etc. The world is quick to beat us down, another great reason we need our Lord and Savior ✝️🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️✝️❤️ Thank you again for sharing this messsge❤️😃👍🏼
Thank you for this reminder! Love Paul David Tripps books! And thankful for Gods grace! I mess up every day but I make sure to ALWAYS say sorry. I didn’t grow up in a Christian home and my mom never apologized when she hurt me, still doesn’t to this day. And I want my kids to see that I mess up a ton, but I’m always repentant of how I’ve treated them. And hopefully when they are grown up they will remember that and not all the wrong things I did! 🧡
I was a mother at 16/17 years old, single mum at 18. Joined a small church when I was 24, served with them for 2 years. My daughter was 6 years old and in that 2 years the church overwhelmed me with their big visions and goals and the work of ministry, or rather helping build their ministry knocked me over completely. My daughter was not allowed to attend the youth camps or women's retreats and when she came to bible studies or small groups she was treated like some kind of burden, put in a corner to draw or entertain herself, if she was hungry she was ignored. I tried to always involve her, asked if she could come along but was always dismissed... So I thought as these women led me that my calling/ministry would only flourish if my daughter could somehow be absent from it. I was so focused on me and this drive to be a somebody within the church that my daughter was always pushed to the side. I was foolish and selfish and the mum guilt was always there but honestly for good reason, I should have felt guilty because my actions were out of line morally and biblically. I was told I was going to preach to thousands of people, that I would be a very key instrument in God's kingdom to lead many souls to Christ, all these prophetic words spoken over me puffing me up. I was gaining attention from other ministries and larger churches and becoming a somebody at the expense of losing what mattered most... My daughter is almost 12 now and she lives with my mother, the situation is complicated but my daughter hardly speaks to me, the last few months anyway I've heard nothing. When God pulled me out from all that chaos and took me under His wing in 2019, I spent 7 months with my daughter pouring into her, apologising for various things, asking for her forgiveness and just reconnecting... It was pleasant until she decided to move away to be with her dad, she's now with my mother and each time she's visited she's had bitter feelings toward me because I married and now have a 2.5 year old who is dearly loved and cared for. I know it is hard on her, she's almost 12 and life just becomes more tough emotionally into these years of her youth. I have tried to reassure her with love but so many voices are against her and me... Life is hard. Being a mother is hard. Things are not fair and we often focus so much on the bad but I know there is still hope for every situation. Don't give up no matter how difficult things seem... I'm speaking to myself here also. Excuse the lengthy comment just felt to share this. I've been hurt so much as a woman but even more as a mother, I wish my daughter knew she was loved dearly. This video was well put together and I really do love content like this as it really does share my own heart on motherhood/parenting. We all fail everyday in numerous ways but our strength and our help comes from God. I know I'd do 100x worse if Christ were not picking me up everyday, He makes all things possible. 💛
Thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry you went through all that but we all make mistakes and it often takes us awhile to see them. Praise the Lord He helped you see and I pray you and your daughter will find a great relationship again. Don't live in regret and keep moving forward!
I really needed this today. Getting children ready for school when they're not in the greatest moods and you feel so tired can be challenging. Thank you Jeanine!
Wow! I went to review book and I bought it. Even though my kids are grown I love to learn more about parenting. I hope I can share this with my daughters and son, parents of my13 grandchildren ages 3-22 yrs old. Thank youLove your video and passion for living right by God!
I couldn't agree with you more. Parenting is the hardest most rewarding and important job in the world. My kids are grown and need me as much now as they did when they were growing up-even if it is just to listen to them. I have a framed picture that is called "One Hundred Years from Now" that pretty much sums up my thoughts on the subject. I love watching what a wonderful big brother Xander is being to little Lexi. They'll be best buddies for life.
We never outgrow our need for our patents do we? I'm glad to hear your kids still need you. I hope mine will be the same because I'm already dreading the day they spread their wings
