Moms and Dads—sometimes parenting can be thankless, frustrating and exhausting! My son has been reminding me of this all day long and if my two year old wets her pants once more before bed time I am going to lose my ever loving mind!

But today I read 2 Timothy chapter one where Paul reminds his protégé Timothy that he came to faith in Christ because of the Godly example of his mom and grandma. Whether it is a toddler that you are convinced is headed straight to the state penitentiary, a challenging teenager or a wayward adult child, remember that your powerful example of Godliness can make all of the difference in the world for your children. Don’t despair! Live a life worth following and watch your children follow you straight to Jesus.
