If you keep that in mind as you guide and discipline it will make it easier.

I know it's uncomfortable for some, but the day before I wrote this, I had a person with small children say to me "I just wish I could hear from someone on the other side of things"...so I told them about my blog. No one is perfect, you're right. Your mom pointed that out to me, but the hope is in knowing that you can make so much positive impact even in the midst of inevitable mistakes that we all make. But you all make a great story! :) hugs!Holly Tumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916207862297293279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002613940214653957.post-74792019185321920262011-09-07T09:40:39.929-05:002011-09-07T09:40:39.929-05:00The above note was written by Wendy Rockhold Ranki...The above note was written by Wendy Rockhold Rankin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002613940214653957.post-26190850601583764322011-09-07T09:39:43.603-05:002011-09-07T09:39:43.603-05:00Thank you Holly, for your kind words and efforts i...Thank you Holly, for your kind words and efforts in putting these thoughts together. It is hard for me to be on display like this but I am glad you gave us the opportunity to honor our mother in this manner. I had two more thoughts I wanted to share. My mom had pointed out that she was glad she had taught us obedience early in life. That is so true. Her yes always meant yes and her no always meant no. I see so many young mothers that are exasperated and stressed because they do not make it clear to their children that they are the authority - the "Mama Bear!" Who would want more than one child if the first doesn't obey? By learning to obey her, we knew the authority of God's word could be trusted. Also, I wanted to be clear that though we had a wonderful mother, there is no perfect model out there. What was so cool about my mom is that she really trusted in the Lord to do His work in us. Jesus Christ was her Rock and we knew it. I love my Mama dearly! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
