I remember thinking I knew it all and probably even telling her that on a regular basis! ha! <BR/><BR/>I think I can say without having met your family in person and just reading here on your blog, that you have given them a firm foundation. They will stumble like we all do, and you will always be there to guide them back to the right path...that's what Mom's do....Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159336665350752308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21787421.post-40121853627167604302008-01-03T06:08:00.000-08:002008-01-03T06:08:00.000-08:00Dear Trina,Thank you for your words.

As a mom of three young boys, I always look for faithful, Christ-loving moms with older sons who I can learn from--today I have definitely learned! Thank you for allowing God to use you...I am going to print up your post and keep it. It's like a little devotional in itself.<BR/>KatrinaByHISgoodGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17623590265130259180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21787421.post-34612957094002129982008-01-02T22:50:00.000-08:002008-01-02T22:50:00.000-08:00You make me realize how important it is for me to ...You make me realize how important it is for me to raise my children right during these younger years. At the ages your children are is the wrong time to wake up and figure out you haven't done things right all along. I'm sure you've done a good job. You and Dennis seem like really good parents. I really admire you guys and I'm sure I could learn a lot from you guys. even with my kids being so young I can just imagine what you are going through. It's got to be hard watching your children growing into adults and start making thier own decisions. It also makes me understand what my parents went through too. I'm with you though, you can't just sit back and watch them make the wrong choices. Even if they don't listen at least you know you did your part as a parent. I guess it's kind of like the watchman blowing the trumpet.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I've kind of went on and on. I'll be praying for you that you will know how to deal with things. I believe your boys have been raised right and they will reflect that in their adult lives.Tishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602876557976893681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21787421.post-82613161940216488732008-01-02T21:19:00.000-08:002008-01-02T21:19:00.000-08:00I enjoyed reading your post tonight, especially af...I enjoyed reading your post tonight, especially after our visit this morning, over my sick baby. LoL To raise our children is hard work and one that takes alot of wisdom. The night Reggie left on his own, Cole was at church and he asked the Lord to reveal some scripture to comfort him about Reggie leaving home and he opened up to train them up in the way they should go and they shall not depart from it. This was a comfort to both of us. Love you and take care of yourself these last 10 weeks.Mrs.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03025955329192471272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21787421.post-44094542398719258332008-01-02T18:21:00.000-08:002008-01-02T18:21:00.000-08:00Whew!

I want to have the courage and understanding on where, when and how to draw the line as well as the strength to back it up.

Sis. Trina, we have had to draw our lines in the sand and then stay on our own side and I tell you weeping that God was the only one who could bring around the sons to our side of the line again. But He did. And His words are true about raising them up in the way they should go and in the end they will not depart. Hold to the line...and cry your tears to God...He'll bring the increase you so need as a mother.Sis. Lori P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08343230782056247019noreply@blogger.com
