Many times a life of parenting can become overwhelming. I found this list very encouraging and wanted to share it, hoping you would find it an encouragement.
10 purposes of parenting
1. To model Jesus
2. To pray for our children daily.
3. To demonstrate a life of integrity.
4. To set safe and appropriate boundaries.
5. To be a student of our children's world.
6. To promote our childrens unique interests.
7. To encourage a passionate desire for truth.
8. To respect their abilities and self determination.
9. To influence their beliefs, rather than control their behaviors.
10. To shape their environment, because it will influence their hearts.
