Do Not Give Up!

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9

I am the mother of a very strong-willed three year old little boy. He is so full of energy, he is super smart, and very, very funny. At the same time, he is very stubborn and I find myself often discouraged in my parenting. My greatest desire is to train him up in the way he should go...but that is a lot easier said than done! During a particularly rough season God gave me the above verse to remind me that I am not to become weary. And He reminded me that there is a key part to that verse--do not give up! The hardest part of parenting is consistency. I am trying to remember daily not to give up because some day we will reap a harvest!
