Reflections


I gave you life, but I cannot  live it for you. 
I can give you directions, but cannot lead you. 
I can take you to church, but I cannot make you believe. 
I can teach you right from wrong, but I cannot always decide for you. 
I can buy you beautiful clothes, but I cannot make you beautiful inside. 
I can offer you advice, but I cannot accept it for you. 
I can give you love, but I cannot force it upon you. 
I can teach you to share, but I cannot make you unselfish. 
I can teach you respect, but I cannot force you to show honor. 
I can advise you about friends, but I cannot choose them for you. 
I can tell you about lofty goals, but I can't achieve them for you. 
I can teach you about kindness, but I cannot force you to be gracious. 
I can pray for you, but I cannot make you walk with God. 
I can tell you how to live, but I cannot give you eternal life. I can love you with unconditional love...and I will. 

Being a mother is a blessing but is also a challenge.
You will learn your strengths and face your greatest fears. So blessed to be a mother to these boys and our sweet baby girl coming in September.
