On a day in which I know my children will be up against the odds or in a uniques setting, I wear a bracelet to remind me of the following:
1 Corinthians 13: 4 &7
Love is patient, Love is kind, it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
Being a parent is just that...parents must be patient, kind, protect, trust, hope, persevere, and if we can do all of these...we as parents will not fail.
Having that bracelet on my wrist as a constant reminder of scripture and God's expectations for me as a parent, is crucial on days when my patience may grow thin and my kindness may not show. No one ever said being a parent would be easy, but they never said it would be this hard either. Ultimately it is the ONLY job that matters in my life.
