14. The Secret to Enjoying Your Children

Living Above the Noise

Mar 28 2024 • 54 mins

Did you know that some women have a hard time enjoying their kids?

It's especially difficult in a world that doesn't love children.

This topic might seem unusual to you — especially if you don’t struggle with it — but that’s not the case for a lot of mommas.

If you’re someone who does -  take a deep breath, you’re not alone!  Do you sometimes wonder about how parenting and joy can coexist?

You know, the noise, the mess, the constant teaching, the getting into your stuff, the questions, being on call 24/7.

How in the world do you enjoy that?

Well listen in!

Reward and compensation dictate our current culture.  You've got to "feel it" — "be passionate" about it — or "love" it or it must not be worth the effort.

Money, a degree, and "likes" to social media posts → it's wired us to need to see a good result.

And raising kids doesn't fit that mold!

Kids are like a 20 year experiment where all you can do it try and try again — hoping the vision you have works out.

But don't fear!  There is hope.  With God there always is!

  • Listen in for some surprising statistics on marriage and birth rates and how they reflect our changing times.  Consider how they don't reflect God's view on marriage and children.
  • Then move onto gaining awareness of what and how you're feeling — then begin using it to gain perspective of your situation. This is a game-changer for enjoying your kids.
  • Look to God's Word to wisdom and truth in your role in the life God gave you.  There you will find grace and strength to love the life you've been given.
