How can I expect to have perfectly-behaved children all the time?

September 7, 2011 Lana

I have 5 precious children.  (Plus extras sometimes.) I love them more than my life. (Thus, the name of my blog.) God loves them more. He is the perfect Father. Yet, He still has disobedient children. My point:  How can I expect to have “perfect”-behaved children all the time? I can’t. You can’t. No one […]
