"Prepare your children for the path instead of the path for your children."
I really like that!
Do parents sometimes hover around trying to remove all the obstacles for their children, believing they are clearing a way for (vicarious?) "Success?"
Isn’t that a formula for frustration and failure in multiple ways?
Isn’t it much better to simply prepare our children for the inevitable obstacles, disappointments, and failures that will be a part of life’s journey?
There is very little we can control regarding what shows up in/on our path, but we can control our attitude, response, approach, and reaction. Right?
If you have faith, then trusting God is the key.
Teaching our children these things starts with us. Ready? Here comes Monday!
