Primetime

I thought I would take advantage of the fact that the boys aren't up yet and do a post. Something struck me yesterday as Ethan was singing "Pharoah, Pharoah..." It's amazing how much their little brains are like sponges - they absorbe everything. They might only be 3 when they start in Sunday School but messages are being received and one some level, understood. We need to value our youth workers and encourage them to continue doing what they are doing - they are influencing our children. However, they don't really have filters yet because later in the day, after having the radio on in the car, he was singing "Shut-up, Shut-up.." which is a bad word in our house. I suppose there is going to be good and bad choices all their lives (on much larger scales). I guess it's up to us and the influences in their lives that will form how they make those decisions, both positive and negative. The parenting responsibility is quite overwhelming sometimes - way beyond them drawing on themselves and being "booger-snot-noses" (Ethan's term). Thank God that He is there to help us.
I hear stirring upstairs so I must go and start this parenting adventure. Chin up to all those parents, soon-to-be parents, and hope-to be parents out there. The rewards far outweigh the challenges!
