Parenting

Talking about parenting in class this week has really got me thinking about how much I love and miss my own family of origin.  I was very blessed to be brought up in a home where I never doubted that my parents loved each other or us kids.  Something that I love about my relationship with my parents is that I feel a renewed confidence in myself after speaking with them.  In all my associations with my parents, I feel strengthened.  That is something that I am striving to incorporate into my marriage (it sure takes practice!) and something that I hope to emulate as a parent.  I think that if my children know that I think the world of them it will do great things for our relationships!
