School for Parenting?
Having both been raised by single parents. or rather, fostered out for the larger part of our childhood lives, I've always said to my husband, 'There is no school to teach anyone how to be good parents.'
I say that to comfort and help us forgive ourselves so we could pick-up quickly whenever we face difficult situations in parenting. After that, we'd turn to God and the Bible for 'further instructions'. I forgot -- as Christians, we do have a 'school for parenting' by God's grace! Amen! :)
Thanks for the sharing and reminder!
