It's so easy to swoop in and help our kids get through the tough stuff easily. But, you're so right. It's when we as moms step back and let them find their way through. I love how your kids are turning to God to ask for help. What a great reflection on your mothering. :) Jeanne Takenakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07409533877632020738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877601886922584387.post-2804461871489472462019-02-07T19:40:18.953-04:002019-02-07T19:40:18.953-04:00Right on, Jessica.

The Holy Spirit once told me that opinions and advice are the same information, the difference is one is sought and the other is freely given.
