It is so hard to see our children go through trials, but worth it if it brings them closer to God. And we can trust that He is in control! What a beautiful post.

While dealing with infertility before the birth of my daughter, I found solace in God. I know that he used this awful experience to bring me closer to Him. I wouldn't want her to go through anything like I did, but I do want her to be close to Him. This made me tear up.

I completely agree with you. It is better to suffer and be wise and close to God than to have an easy life and be selfish and far from Him. Wow- what a powerful post. I completely agree with you.

I do not want my children to experience the same hardships we did as newly wed young adults, but what you said is so right .... they have to experience some hardship to rely on God. Thank you so much for this reminder! We too have experienced financial ups and downs over the years so I truly appreciate this post!

And I can totally relate. Not only did I grow up in a financially-strapped home and had to eat "weird meals" because it was all that was available, but I find myself and my children strapped for cash often in today's economy. We all get by, but as parents it's hard to not feel the pain when you know you're not giving your children much better than you yourself had as a child. Thanks for sharing! What a great piece!!

This is just the gentle tap from God I needed (well, maybe it was more like a slap in the face). Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have no idea how this has touched me.

Thanks for sharing. I think we all expect our Christian walk to be easy, but sometimes (often) it is more difficult than the way of the world. Such a touching article. Thanks for sharing.

We spend so much of their lives trying to protect them from the hard stuff and impart only the good stuff, only to realize that so much of the good stuff comes from the hard stuff! (Heck, I live my own life the same way!). Thank you for sharing. Mary Isn’t that the hardest thing about parenting?!
