Today in sunday school, the subject was on parent. I have to admit that before you were born, I used to hate this subject. It just felt like everyone else in the room could relate to the subject and I was sitting there left out. This week was different.
One thing that was brought up was the need most mothers feel to control their children. Someone brought up that when her daughter was young, she was very strong willed and stubborn. She spent a good amount of time trying to change her baby to act a certain way, a way she thought was 'perfect' for a little girl. He husband came to her one day and said, 'we shouldn't try and change her. What we consider difficult and stubborn now, may be what she needs to get through though situations when she is older.'
This woman proceeded to tell us that this spirit is the exact thing that has helped her daughter in the many trials she has faced as a young adult. She was so thankful that she was able to maintain that strength.
This lesson is a prime example of what I didn't knew I needed to hear until I already heard it. Baby, I promise you that I will try to always nurture your spirit and who you are. I love you dearly and can't wait to see who you become.
