Raising Children...

"I real­ized that it wasn’t all about me. My chil­dren sin because they are sin­ners. They don’t do it to get me mad. They fell with Adam, just like I did. And so they will strug­gle with obe­di­ence and lov­ing and self­ish­ness. Just like me."

 

I read this quote the other day and wrote it down.  I don't remember where I read it now to give credit, but I thought it was a good reminder. These little (and not so little) lives that we shape each day can be so exhausting.  When I look at it with my eyes on eternity it changes my perspective.  It is so easy to take my eyes off of that though!
