Parenting is a journey unlike any other. It is filled with joy and celebration, as well as sadness and frustration. It is a 24/7 job that never ends, even when the kids move out.
The perfect kid is an elusive idea in every parent's dreams. Thousands of books have been written and expert after expert has lined up to tell us how to raise the perfect child. Yet, it seems that no matter what we do, perfection is always out of our grasp.
What if, we have gone about it all wrong? What if parenting is not about the latest techniques but about something deeper, something beneath the surface?
Big Idea: As parents we must parent with the end in mind (as God does us as His children).
