blessed are parents who...
1. blessed are the parents who listen to their children, for they in turn will be heard.
2. blessed are they who do not expect more of their chidren than is appropriate for their level of maturity, for they shall not be disappointed.
3. blessed are the parents who do not attempt to tackle the new math, for they shall not fail.
4. blessed are parents who can laugh at themselves, for their children will laugh with them and not at them.
5. blessed are the parents who may be called "old fashioned." they can be assured they are on the right track, for so have children persecuted parents for genereations, and their opinions will change by the time they are old enough to pay taxes.
6. blessed are they who teach their children to understand and love each other, for they shall not get caught in the crossfire of a sibling war.
7. blessed are the parents who let their children do for themselves what they are capable of doing, for they shall not be merely unpaid servants.
8. blessed are the parents who take their children with them often for they shall see the world with fresh eyes.
9. blessed are the parents who have found success-outlets for their own energies, for they will not need their children as status symbols or as justifications.
10. blessed are the parents sho do not pretend to be perfect, for their chidren will not be disillusioned.

Another wonderful list, Lisa. They are indeed wise words to live by.

Absolutely beautiful!!!! You are exactly right!! Thank you for your comment as well, I appreciate it ALOT!!! :o) Wonderful post, you take such great pictures as well!
Blessed are the parents who take an active, thoughtful, and God honoring role in the raising of their children, for they shall bless their blog readers!
Lovin' your list...well said.
Very true, especially that one about the new math.
I can tell you are using us as a sounding board for the new book you are writing.
Number three, new math words, is excellent advice.
The rest should be sworn to by all prospective parents before being allowed to have kids. Maybe even committed to memory! They're that good.

I am learning these maxims as we go along, especially the new math~lolol~
my two girls are quite a handful at times, so for me #6 is what I will take away from your blog i.e.(blessed are they who teach their children to understand and love each other, for they shall not get caught in the crossfire of a sibling war)
