A new day

Some days we are going to do alot worse than good. Some days we are going to fail as parents. We are going to end the day feeling why was I given charge of this/these beautiful child/ren when all I do is going to fail them. Sometimes we might punish them before understanding the whole situation or we may not hold them to the behaviour standard that we have set and their behaviour has then got out of control. There is so many things we can do to 'mess up' our precious little ones, we are responsible for such a great yet difficult task in bringing up our children with love, discipline and wisdom and when we know we have failed at the end of one day what can we do?

We have a decision to make.
Do we throw up our hands and say 'I' just can't do this'?
Do we think 'I'm too tired to keep this up, I'll just stop them doing the bad stuff and let them get away with the rest'?
Do we say to ourselves 'I'll just make sure I love them and God will look after the rest'?
Or do we let go of the past (be it a day, or the whole of our lives) and go forth and love our children, discipline our children and teach them all about God and the wisdom He has.
Do we remind ourselves that God was the one who blessed us with these children and He would never give us a challenge that we couldn't handle.

When you have a bad day, when you are feeling down or worst a failure.
Remember tomorrow is a New Day:)
