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.
