Letting Go

I release all worries and struggles to God. When burdens seem to heavy I rely on God to hold me up. As I let go I realize I am not parenting alone.

God is my helper, the Lord is the up lifter of my life. ~ Psalm 54:4

Grace

I focus on the presence of Christ in my child to guide him through challenges. I let go of unrealistic expectations. God's grace covers all shortcomings.

Each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ's gift. ~ Ephesians 4:7

Harmony

I forgive myself and others for those things that have caused pain. Healing allows me to experience harmony in my relationships. I am free to give the love in my heart to my child and those around me.

Make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. ~ Philippians 2:2

New Ways

When I am challenged in a situation with my child I risk to try something new. I see this as an opportunity to move beyond old ways of thinking. I am prepared through prayer.

See, the former things have came to pass, and new things I now declare. ~Isaiah 42:9

Love

I look at the miracle in the manger for inspiration. I am reminded of my own spiritual rebirth. I am able to bring a new meaning into my relationship with my child.

They went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. ~Luke 2:16

Abundance

The abundance of God's love allows me to share my gifts and love with others. As I pour love into my child we are both blessed with an enriched relationship. We move forward with the spirit of Thanksgiving.

Your heart shall thrill and rejoice, because the abundance of the sea shall be brought to you. ~ Isaiah 6:5

Peace

I face the storms of life connected with my child in prayer. Our distress is regulated by the Holy Spirit. We press on in peace.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress; he made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. ~Psalm 107: 28-29
