Robin's Reflections

Type of parenting best avoided :) With 23 years of parenting down and a few more to go...here are my favorites that I try to remember along the way.... 1. "IT'S NOT SO IMPORTANT " what " YOUR CHILDREN ARE DOING BUT " why ". 2. "WRONG CHOICES OFTEN BRING IMMEDIATE GOOD RESULTS, RIGHT CHOICES OFTEN HAVE IMMEDIATE BAD (OR HARD) RESULTS." -Jousha McDowell 3.  WHEN A CHILD'S PARENTS ENTER A ROOM, THAT CHILD IS UNCONSCIOUSLY ASKING HERSELF, 'DO MY MOM AND DAD'S EYES LIGHT UP WHEN THEY SEE ME?  DO THEY THINK I MATTER?'" -Toni Morrison Do you have a favorite "parenting" quote that you like?!

So often, we attach value to money...but what about others, do we consider them a true value? I read this sentence the other day and it caught my attention. "...to add value to others, one must first value others."* I like to think that I value others.  But how much time do I really  spend trying to value others?  Am I more concerned with adding value to myself?  Nehemiah 1:4 "When I heard these things ( the destruction of Jerusalem ), I sat down and wept.  For some days I mourned and fasted before the God of heaven." God, give me a heart for others.
