There is worldly sorrow when we are sorry but continue to live by our own standards. Then there is Godly sorrow which leads to true confession, a change of heart and a new direction. Godly sorrow brings rest to our souls. As you stated, walking our talk is difficult some days but absolutely worth it!!! Thank you for your thoughts and for being such a good mother as you train my sweet Madeline and Isabelle. Love, MOM Krista,

It is so hard to teach them what is right so they will have the skills to succeed as adults and then pass on their wisdom to others, when all you want to do is throw your arms around them and make them feel safe and protected. The right way is not necessarily the easy way. I wish it were easier sometimes, but your devotional reminded me I'm doing the right thing with my "tough love". Susan Krista,
