Raising successful children...

When I read this quote this morning, it tied is nicely with the last post...even though the title of this post is the opposite.

There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children.

One of these is roots; the other wings.

~ Hodding Carter

Indeed, our children must be rooted as we train them in the way to go; be an example.

We should also be courageous enough to "let go" and let them make their own decisions, and possibly mistakes, as the grow and mature. Just support them with prayers and provide Godly counsel as needed - the priviledge and responsibility to train another human being is not one to be taken lightly. Keep in constant touch with the One Who knows the end from the beginning and Who knows the future He has planned.  God bless.
