The world will tell them they are insignificant, worthless, incapable and dumb. They will believe the world. There is something wrong with this picture.<br /> <br />EXACTLY!!!! Pray, that's all we can do huh?<br /><br />Great post:) And the garden above is coming along nicely, yay!Carihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09871517399157141234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606494570434205373.post-36737733452990997662012-05-15T00:18:20.804-04:002012-05-15T00:18:20.804-04:00What a great list.

In our trying teen years with son (and the stories I could tell, LOL) I would constantly remind him that he was a good kid who sometimes made bad decisions, but I wanted him to know that I still considered his core was good, he just often chose things that would get him into LOADS of trouble. <br /><br />and of course, lots of prayer for our kids, lots of prayers.....<br /><br /><br />May you have a Happy Mother's Day!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606494570434205373.post-9628292712991788342012-05-12T22:49:16.982-04:002012-05-12T22:49:16.982-04:00wow..such a lovely post
