Here is your “Parenting Perspective” courtesy of your Office of Family Life Ministries:
“Some days are particularly challenging when dealing with children no matter their ages. One can feel like ‘it’s impossible!’ God says ‘All things are possible with me’. Try praying Luke 18 verse 27 repeating it over and over especially in tough times.”
