Lessons From the Fiery Furnace

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’” {2 Corinthians 12:9}When I was raising my children, we did not have as much parenting information available at our fingertips as there is today, but I did my share of reading books and looking for resources. The opinions and philosophies were just as firmly held to and taught as they are today – often by people who were in the trenches of parenting their own children or were reacting to past generations' perceived mistakes. In hindsight, I can see that some of the resources I read were not always the best resources to turn to. The jury was not yet sure how their teaching would affect their children.Now that my children are grown, I can see that I held too tightly to specific ways of thinking and teachings of raising children. Of course, we did feel led to certain things, but some of what we did was not the best way. I would do some things differently. Thankfully, God has comforted me with a very liberating truth: He knew what kind of parents we would be before we even had our children. He knew we would get some things wrong and never intended us to be perfect parents. In His wisdom, God allows imperfection, not to harm us or our children, but to help us. Our weaknesses and mistakes are not the end of our story as parents. Here are some reasons why this is good news for every weary mom or dad.Photo credit: ©Getty Images/monkeybusinessimages
