DON`T GIVE UP
When you children are young and impetuous~Nurture them within God`s boundries,not yours.~Pray for them,anyway....The world`s influence,seems to possess them~Through God`s strength,you have power.~Pray for them anyway....Parents can`t win every argument with their children~discuss it with them;pride can get in the way.~Pray for them anyway.....Stay in touch with their feelings and emotions~Be compasionate,if they lose their faith in themselves.~Pray for them anyway....If they stray,and you think they`re in trouble~Stay firm,show them there are better paths.~Pray for them anyway......When they become independent,but they`re not ready to be~Encourage.Don`t hinder their growth.~Pray for them anyway.....If they talk a language you don`t understand~Find some middle ground to communicate.~Pray for them anyway.....Some children grow up too quickly,not needing you.~Give them their space,respect what maturity they have.~Pray for them anyway.....If they are ready to leave the nest,as adults~Respect them as unique individuals.~Pray for them anyway.....When they take advantage,and there isn`t a spouse~Remind them you are still a family,love them.~But always, pray for them anyway....And never give up!
