Parenting Isn't Fair

There is an increasing sense of self in the world today. More people are opting for the childless life. They are right in the fact that raising children wears on your emotions and wallet, but there is a lot to gain. Have you ever heard your parent say that you just can't understand how much they love you until you have your own children? Maybe they're right. Maybe we can't assume what parenthood will be like until we've experienced it.
Every child has a unique spirit and brings specific joys and challenges into the lives of it's family members. Sometimes you are dealt the hand of a colicky baby, or a tantrum loving toddler. But no matter the challenge you face, you still have the guarantee that Heavenly Father loves your family. He wants your family to be happy and succeed in life. Even if you can't "control" your kids like you may want to, each soul has agency. God is on your side in raising a righteous family. Trust in His power and in the grace of Jesus Christ because they want your family to be happy as much as you do.
