Today on the Facebook page of 89.5 KTSY radio, this question was posed: "
I immediately thought of my children, and then myself as a parent, when I read that. Because I do not want to forget my response, I am reposting it here:
As I grow as a parent, God reveals the extraordinary in the ordinary! Teaching my children to count and to read, to worship and lead, allows me to see their best, extraordinary selves. That is, when they learn morals and values and manifes...t this in every day ways, I am blessed to glimpse who God wants them to be! I try to be an example to my kiddos, which of course can be difficult, but every so often I rejoice in my success at it--like moments when I could lose my temper, but instead practice patience and approach a situation in a more balanced and gentle way. Though I will keep trying, I know that God isn't finished w/me yet--the most 'extraordinary me' will come when we meet!
It is truly an amazing miracle to know that God allows opportunities to witness His great work in people. And it is such an awesome reward when we are able to witness His work in people who are special to us, especially our children! And what grace to be able to see it every so often in ourselves!! AMEN!!
