I donaEUR(tm)t know about you, but I didnaEUR(tm)t have an instruction manual when I had my kids. I think knowing how to raise kids is more important than, say, cooking a box of macaroni and cheese or assembling some flat-pack furniture, even though those things always come with instructions so that you are given a standard to get an acceptable and predictable result.
May my experiences on motherhood help you see what my husband and I did to raise our sons to be kind, respectful, and intelligent young men. After all, it worked not once, but twice! I pray you can glean any morsel of wisdom because we all need more wisdom. I hope you can see the Holy Spirit at work in my parenting as I think walking in the fruit of the Spirit is just common sense.
