What a joy it is to be the vessel to bring new life into this world! It’s not my first but it sure feels like it. Each time it feels sooo special. Sure I’m sleep-deprived and all that comes with having a newborn but one look at his precious little body and my heart just melts. It makes me think about being a parent and the great responsibility it carries with it.
As parents we want the absolute best for our children from birth and beyond. Our jobs as parents is to love, nurture and guide our children. Ultimately, we are to lead them to God. Love is essential in parenting. You need lots of it to get you thru the disappontments and challenges you are sure to face in your quest to bring up loving and respectful children in these challenging times. I believe that we all have been created to love. Love is IN us…it’s natural. It’s the multiple disappontments that we’ve experienced in life that has made us believe otherwise. Love never fails!
When I think about the fact that our children are basically gifts that are being entrusted to us by God it really shifts my perspective on parenting. Now that is something to think about!

Knowing that you were created to love how can you demonstrate that love to your family and to others?
