It is tough sometimes to give time to everything. I am out flying my business idea to lots of people and they just love it. I am going to the community centers this week and to assisted livings. I am so excited about this. Kids are well. Austin one both of his soccer games this weekend. Rachel spent the night with her grandparents on Fri. and had a great time. She even watched the "Wizard of OZ" with them. Scarry. Life is good! I am so glad to be in this world and about the blessings that the Creator Of Our Universe provides for me. I found this prayer about teens and if you have a middle schooler or a high schooler say it for them! A Parent's Prayer For Teens Lord , thank you for helping me to be the type of parent you call me to be. Thank you for giving me patience and wisdom so that I may be an honorable guide who lays a strong fonundation for my teen because we cannot control or mold others but we can offer our adolescents the building blocks for a righteous character. Heavenly Father, thank you for giving me the strength and courage to face each morning as a new day, forgetting the the irritations of the day before, and treating each time the sun rises as a fresh start. Thank you, Lord, for reminding me that I was once a teen too, and just as I made some mistakes and had to find my own way so too does my soon-to-be adult child need to carve their own path. God, please remind me daily to pray for my teen; for their health, safety and wise choices. Thank you for helping me dare to trust, not only the decisions of my child, but to trust the life of my child in your capable hands. Thank you God, for reminding me to see the good in my child, and to frequently tell my teen that he or she is loved, even when they may do or say sometheing that may displease me. Thank you Lord, for giving me the wisdom and understanding to know when a problem is too large for me to handle within my own home, and to not fear reaching out for help when help is needed. God, thank you for reminding me daily that although motherhood and fatherhood is a full-time job, my needs are important too. The result of my own personal care is a happier and healthier parent. Thank you God, for offering me the wisdom to see that a good parent sometimes needs to say no and set boundaries, and like wise, a good parent provides their child with wings to soar. Thank you for helping me to understand that just as I may sometimes feel confused, frustrated and worried about my teens behavior, their mixed emotions are often more frightening to them. Our children have been thrust into society that sometimes offers mixed messages, quick ungodly fixes and senseless violence, so please help to remind me that my young adult needs some time to figure out what his or her world is all about. Lastly God, as much as I wish to hold on tight to my child, thank you for always reminding me that You are holding on to me even tighter. There IS a light at the end of the tunnel, and even puberty shall one day pass. This I ask in the name of YOUR Son, Jesus Christ. Amen. Author: Melanie Schurr
