Congratulations! You have accomplished something in life that many people do not. You have stayed married for a long time. That is a blessing from God. God has used you two, to glorify Him, to the world around you. You should rejoice in this. However, all of us have to keep on growing, and working at things our whole life to be a faithful servant of our Lord.
What do you do when you are grown, and your parents try to parent you on how to be a parent? Good question, but the answers are not so easy. It is one of those family situations that can be uncomfortable.
Sometimes we parents get so caught up in all the task to perform in getting our kids ready for school, that we forget to set aside time for the really important aspect of back to school preparation. We must talk to our teens about going back to school, and what to expect.
New pens? Check. Spirals, notebook paper? Check. Ruler, scissors? Check. Latest fashion attire to the max? Check. Witnessing action plan? Say what? Scriptures memorized regarding Christian apologetics? Huh????
