Every parent has a dream
Of God-given child(ren)
To nurture IN love
Train with the Word
Laced with discipline
All grounded in Grace
Kiss almost every moment
Hug after every 'little step stagger'
Smack at naughty attempts
Chuckle along as they negotiate
Verbally or non-verbally :)
How do you know
The training was
Dug down deep
Internalized in character
Not a mere farcade
That wears off so easily
In the face of
Pleasure or pressure
Only time can tell
Whether they will
End up as Blessings
Or as extortioners
Virtues or Vices
Hand them over
To the Potter
He will mold
As He deems Fit
Lord help P&I
As well as other parents
As we attempt
Grace-based parenting
***dedicated to our loving godly and supportive parents. Love u
