Mothers of all kinds

I posses a great feeling of accomplishment  ... Lexi had her first communion and i think she is ready and fully understands what it mean to receive Christ ... I am one proud parent as reminisce over memories of all the family bedtime prayers, nightly bible readings as a family and teachings of right from wrong and good from evil has paid off . Its hard to teach your children what a model christian should be in today's world but I gladly accept the challenge. If not for us then who will lead them in the right direction.  Don't assume you role and presence is not important in the life of a child whether you are a adopted parent,  step parent, godparent or  grandparent or just a parent we all have the responsibility to care for children not just our own  but all children. Every child deserves love and attention . Sometimes we don't realize that these kids need our guidance in many ways and people don't put enough emphasis on caring for others. I have never taken my job as a step mother lightly I've taught  Lexi everything i know...  fatih,  love, importance of family, discipline, importance of education, punctuality and  perseverance, not because i have to, but because i want to. I am obligated to through my faith... So please i know i am rambling but remember we all have roles to play as adults and remember they are watching us and looking up to us so MAKE the right descisions. Take you role seriously cause they do!! And parents remember be a parent to your child before a friend they depend on you for that!!!!!! Its one of the most important things that parents forget...  remeber you maybe cool in that moment but your only hurting your kids when you "let them slide" or try and be "cool" ... Be cool but firm be Just and rely on God to guide your parenting. As kids, their feelings will get hurt alot but they will thank you for it later... I was inspired by the parable of the sower (mathew 13:3-9 last night ... lets make our kids the seeds that fell on good soil and not let the evils of the world choke out, carry off and dry up our children's faith!   LOVE YA'LL
