I was struck yesterday how quickly the girls are growing up. They just do things that they couldn't do a day or two before. Our girls aren't perfect, and possibly far from it, just like their parents. However, often when we come home from somewhere that has been longer and more boring than the usual 3-7 year olds can bear, we tell them how proud we are. They do so well. I love my girls.
In talking to a pastor yesterday, he was talking about his children who are in jr high, high school, and college. They have worked hard to not treat their children like pastor's kids. They even work hard to keep the church from treating them differently. I believe they have been successful in letting their children live fairly normal lives, and make typical childhood and teenager mistakes. The pastor said he never told his children to do or not do something because they are the pastor's kids. If they were going to be told something, it was because their were other better reasons to choose the prefered way. Good advice for all, but hard to live. God give us grace.
