I am at a stage of life where I now know for sure that parenting never ends. Thats a very good thing because for me it took me a long time to figure it out. I had the protection and correction part down but consistently blew it when it came to encouraging and being fully present. The one thing I can say to all of you who have your jars full of marbles, you better get a bigger jar. Thanks Rick Warren for this great post:
“God gives us a brief window to train our children and prepare them to make a difference in the world. Yes, if you’re a parent, you’ll help guide them for the rest of your life, but you have a unique opportunity to influence their lives during their childhood and adolescence.”
