Staying firm does reap rewards

Kids go through hard things which test your limits as parents.  After a very difficult evening with my oldest daughter,  She showed great character, by taking responsibility for her actions. ...even though it was hard for her to do!  She was courageous and made a difficult  decision like an adult would do.   I have to say it was a proud mommy moment.   Had I lost my cool with her or let her see my frustration the outcome could have been oh so different.   Having children of my own and seeing their struggles only helps me to understand the atonement better and the relationship that I have with my Father in Heaven and my Savior Jesus Christ.  What pain they must feel for each of us, but what patience they must exercise... (they could just come down at anytime and relieve us of our pains, but in their wisdom they don't because they see what each trial will do to make us stronger.)   God is in the very fibers of our lives, he loves us each very intimately!   He wants us to learn and grow, that is why we are here!  It is a roller coaster ride with ups and downs....but also there are times we just coast....let us find joy in each stage. ...for in each stage we will learn lessons and those lessons though hard at times bring joy if we look for it!
