Learning– Creating a family culture of openness, honesty and a love for lifelong learning of compelling and often difficult life lessons. We are lifelong learners.
Really Living– Having a family environment which is engaging, fun, and in the moment. We are learning to stop and enjoy the right now.
Loving– Contributing to a family culture that chooses to love, forgive, give grace and mercy. Deciding and determining before hand that we will choose love first and foremost.
Lasting-- We are running the race with a big picture in mind. Failure is not an option nor is division, divorce, or bailing on each other. We are in this for the long haul– together.
I totally agree- learning, really living, loving and lasting are the challenges of parenting. But I know that by God’s grace will succeed on our journey in parenting. Great post by the way.
