I have raised three children and we have made many memories together. Some great, some good and some, well… might be best to forget. Wouldn’t it be great to press a button and remove the memories of those failed moments as a parent? I would LOVE nothing more than to hit “delete” and have all of my ugly moments erased from memory, my kids and mine. Unfortunately there is no button for removal, but maybe being a grandparent is God’s way of redemption for the mistakes I made as a mom. Memory reveals all I would do differently, if given the chance and now as a Grammy, He has reminded me that I have been given a new opportunity to make memories with a little boy named Mason…and hopefully, one day, more grandchildren I am praying He has planned for us. After looking through the cupboard of memories I decided I would ask the Lord to show this Grammy a game plan for making memories. Here's what I have so far...


Well, that is all the room I have on this blog, but, maybe you are a mom with young children reading this. I would just like to encourage you with this. It can be easy to grow weary of the constant demands of the little voices. Being a parent is hard and challenging. I would like to remind you now that you have one chance to train up a child in the way they should go, so that, when they are old they will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6). It is good to take some time and ask yourself what kind of children do you want to raise? What do you want their childhood memories to be? How do you want life for them to be different than it was for you? How can you raise them to discover the purpose God created them for? Make an intentional decision today to seek the Lord's wisdom so you can be the parent He designed you to be!
