"We used to spend time together studying the Bible . . . and then God gave us kids." "A deeper relationship with the Lord was always my priority . . . and then God gave us kids." Sound familiar? Surely God doesn't intend for our souls to wither away beneath the onslaught of dirty diapers, attention-demanding toddlers, and the inescapable car pool schedule. He must have something better in mind . . . and He does! God desires for parents to look beyond the daily struggles and demands of parenting to discover the lessons that He is teaching us through the lives of our children. He is using the experience of parenting not only to raise godly children, but to raise godly parents who daily discover the wise workings of their loving Father. "[Tamara] uses simple phrases that surprise us all into one of those 'duh!' moments when the answer is so obvious and simple that we'd walked right over it in pursuit of something harder and more complicated." -Gloria Gaither "A treasure for any parent, mother, or group of mothers to read for inspiration, prayerful reflection, and discussion." -Paula Hagen, O.S.B.
