A dear friend from church just shared a blog with me. I sat here in my few quiet moments, one taking a nap the other immersed in LEGOs, to read a few post from the "new" blog...
Let me just say, the tears have steady streamed down, not leaky faucet, but full blown water the garden style! I have added *that* mom to my blog list. Please check her out if you have children, had children, want to have children, or have that first bambino on the way. My advice is to have the box of Kleenex available when you read the post "Dear Parents With Children in Church".
Poppa Bear and I are so there. Struggling with what is seen as acceptable and/or normal and us not using the nursery and not giving our children iphones or video games during church. We use snacks and coloring books and "Busy Bags" and we get those not always at the best time commentary from our kids, but we ARE raising our kids in church and our kids DO KNOW God loves them and we are trying to QUIT worrying about the fuddy-duddies who have forgotten what it was like to raise babies! And we have made up our mind to forgive those who glare before they even have the chance to glare or try to send the pastor to our house to remind us that our church has a nursery for young children because Jesus Loves the Little Children and SO DO I!!!!!
Go to church and bring those babies and raise them up the way you want them to go and they shall!
God blesses us and he blesses you too!
