Two great things you can give your children: one is roots, the other is wings.
by: Hodding Carter
My dream for my kids is that they will be grounded in the Lord and have a strong sense of who they are. My dream is for them to become visionaries; for them to dream of a better world and have the desire, strength and inner resources necessary to work towards achieving that goal. I want them to be resilient and learn to sway when they are buffeted by life’s winds and storms. And when they fly away from my nest, I want them to be shining beacons of light and hope. I want them to exercise what we have taught them. I want to be proud of the people they choose to be. So as a parent I now choose to give my kids both roots and wings, so one day they will be grounded yet soar!
I want the some thing for my kids too. Sometimes it seems like an uphill battle… other days I’m rockin’ the whole mom thing. At least you have a clear goal. 🙂 Check me out too at http://morethanjustamomma.blogspot.com/
