Well, I witnessed you at the pulpit, and you were extradinarily great! Just for who you are and how you present yourself! You are a true woman of God, with a cutsey way about you! lol.
As far as taught my children to be themselves, was to love them, for who they are! To guide them to Jesus, through prayer, to always know, in their weaknesses, as well as mine, He makes us strong!!!!!! Thank God for His patience! lol
Great blog!

I think sometimes there are moments I wish I hadn’t taught them to be themselves! My David tell me directly that he learned that lesson well. He says we taught him to think for himself and not feel the need to be like everyone else. So, he is my tatooed, tongue-pierced, Science is my God, child. Sigh! Of course, I don’t care about the tatoos or piercings. Thought about a tat myself once!

Sharon, she is hearing you. Keep sowing those seeds, and they WILL take root. And, keep on prayin’.

Kristin, “I love who you are!” That’s just a precious thing to say to your children. I’m taking that one for my own

Among other things, I am always telling my kids “I love who you are!” They know that God made them who they are and we discuss “choices” that help us to be our very best self in Him. We make a point to honor each other and each family member (kids AND us parents) are motivated to continue to be ourselves.

i love you! i really do love you! because YOU are great!

i am dealing with this some with jenna. i have been telling her lately that she needs to always remember who she is in Christ. that she needs to stay true to herself and remember that people respect her BECAUSE of her beliefs and moral standards. i pray that she is hearing me.

Barbara – or DAD, I knew it was you dad when I saw the all caps and lack of punctuation. Punctuation is over-rated, anyway. I miss your laugh as well. And, I love you!

Judy, Boo turned heads, not just because of her super awesome jeans. She just turned heads ’cause she’s a purdy thing.

Have to agree with Joey on the outside….seen parents flip over clothes their kids wore but never take time to talk to them…I personally loved that when Boo was in high school the fashion was wearing your dads big shirts lol….but of course she did have this ONE PAIR OF JEANS LOL that rocked the world of a lot of guys lol…just remembered when i was in high school it was mini dresses (girls couldn’t wear pants lol) maybe my parents were cooler than I thought…my Dad never told me I couldn’t wear those dresses lol…. my kids hearts were toward God and that is the important thing…never let my kids compare themselves to others…always told them it didn’t matter, they mattered in every area
