GREAT READ

At the end of my life, or at least when all my children have left our home, I want to be able to say that I did the best I could raising them to be God followers with good character. I don't have to be known as a great parent, but I do want to have been faithful. Before Richard married me he told me he wanted lots of kids, I told him if we had them, they were going to be friends. I didn't know what that would entail or how to do it but God did.  He put us in the Mississippi delta, in a small church, at lunch with a young couple, whose 2 year old's behavior blew us away. We asked them what they knew, they shared the curriculum/ministry with us and it has made ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

Sometimes we were misunderstood, but always great blessings when we were consistent. I AM SO THANKFUL. Combining this guidance with the raising we both received in Christian homes has been such a blessing for us.

The mentors we have in this ministry have written a book that is awesome. I have just read and underlined most of it. Whatever we did with our first three has been forgotten a little with S, but I'm making ground this year and making sure we have covered what I have missed. I'm also excited to be able to use this info with the children who will be coming in our home. What a difference an informed, prepared parent makes! I know that has been true in my life and I've never been so thankful for godly parents who have come before me and have shared their wisdom.



The book is available at Amazon, but also at their bookstore http://momsnotes.com/OrderingResources.aspx?CategoryID=35.
