A Post of Quotes

Borrowed from my friend Catherine's blog, for parents with daughters and/or toddlers:

"One of the common ways that mothers fail their daughters is to load them down with criticism." from Femina


"Patience is not 'putting up with'." There is a difference between being patient and letting things go until things are really unbearable for everyone. "A patient mother is a faithful mother."

From K-Love's Encouraging Word of the day:

So let's stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall. ~ Romans 14:13, NLT

Some thoughts on parenting:

To bring up a child in the way he should go, travel that way yourself once in a while. ~Josh Billings

Your children need your presence more than your presents. ~Jesse Jackson

If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others. ~Haim Ginott
