I think of this each time I'm off the farm and see children with adults. Recently, a woman in a store told a couple, "Your little girls are beautiful; I love them to pieces and want to take them home!" -apparently, those little girls and the woman's child were in the same class at school- The very young adult male replied, "Well, you can have them both!" and I cringed. Yes, he was teasing but what did those little girls hear? Was the seed planted they were unwanted? Unloved by their daddy? What seeds were planted...seeds of goodness, grace, mercy and love or seeds of wondering for the rest of their lives?<br />It made an ever growing ache hurt all the more.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-14793286179872513272015-01-12T07:50:36.444-08:002015-01-12T07:50:36.444-08:00Great thoughts, Kathy.

I was one of those. Coming to Christ was the thing that saved me in more ways than one and I am thankful for Him. It made the difference for my kids as He taught me how to value my children and how much my influence would mean to them. Then He stepped in many times when I screwed up. My children knew they were loved and wanted, but most of all they know they have a Heavenly Father and they are teaching their children that too.<br />I know you've instilled that in your children and they are doing the same.<br />What a wise investment He has helped us make.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612935931627314524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-69513695687301024462015-01-11T20:22:08.338-08:002015-01-11T20:22:08.338-08:00Hello Kathy, thank you for your kind words and jus...Hello Kathy, thank you for your kind words and just want to say I love the view of all your snow.
