Raising children

The seeds you plant today will grow.

Parenting is beautiful and exhausting. Some days you wonder if anything you say is getting through.

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”
Proverbs 22:6 (NIV)

You don't have to be a perfect parent, just a present one. Love, routine, and patience do more than you can see right now.
