That isn't to say we haven't had difficult times, but I believe as you do that with God's help the negative labels do not have to apply to my children (or anyone else's for that matter). I have watched so many children 'go off the rails' when they became teenagers and it is such a joy to read your post and know that we are right to have faith in God to help us bring up our children to fear Him and honour their parents.<br><br>God bless you and your girls!<br><br>Sarahfranbles99noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134777892508885758.post-35306198198365905012010-01-16T12:22:34.000-06:002010-01-16T12:22:34.000-06:00So agree!
