Rekindling our Kids
“We not only need to build a fire in our own lives but we need to be conscious of adding kindling to other people’s fire. We need to be building others up, not throwing negativity and criticism on them while inadvertently snuffing out their flame.” That simple yet powerful image stopped me in my tracks as it seems so easy to do just that to our kids.

Parenting is hard y'all. It doesn't matter what stage you're in either; from bringing them home from the hospital and trying to figure out what the heck you're supposed to be doing to toddler years where they don't listen to a dadgumn thing you say (unless it's a cuss word then they're gonna not only listen but repeat it at high volume levels at the most inopportune times).
