Seedlings


















I swear sometimes it's as if I can see my children growing and learning.  I'm so thankful that I'm able to be at home with them to direct and observe this process. A guest on 19 Kids and Counting stated that children are like seedlings; they have to be nurtured and protected until they have a strong enough root system to face the elements.  I find this so true.  My M's are vulnerable, mold-able, and smart.  They are learning, even when I don't feel I am teaching.  They take in and accept whatever their precious eyes observe. Lord, help! Help us to be wise parents! Help us to nurture and protect our seedlings to become rooted in YOU, that they might bear fruit that impacts the world!
