Parenting

one of the things we wanna do together is just push yourself to live in obedience, to support each other, but also be like, hey, these are also our greatest gifts from the Lord and these are our treasures.

And I think it's gonna be, it's really hard to, Parenting is sanctifying, right?

It is, yeah.

And it is a constant death to self.

And that's even another gift that God gives us is Parenting tells you explicitly your life is no longer about you.

And so I'm thankful for that.

Yeah.

I'm like, oh no.

I'll say this is that, you know, don't be put off by the complexity of parenting and the impact that you have on your children or potentially your children in the future.

Parenting is a good enough practice.

And if you love your children entirely and you give them good enough care throughout their lives, and Donald Winnicott gave us this saying, which is about good enough parenting, which is we don't want perfect parents.

There's no such thing as perfect parenting.

I feel like, oh, I'm a little bit scared to be a parent, but I'm not as well.

Good.

Parenting's tough, but it is also absolutely wonderful.

Sometimes life is genuinely hard.

Parenting, extremely hard.

incredibly hard at times and sometimes when you're exhausted overwhelmed and just trying to get through another day the last thing you need is someone telling you to be just be more grateful be more grateful you're you're just not seeing the good things right as though you haven't already been trying hard enough and that's why that's exactly why I want to approach gratitude in a different way today Because what if gratitude isn't simply about making a list of things we're thankful for, although no one is saying that is a bad thing to do.
