I found this inspiring quote in a Tearfund leaflet yesterday and wanted to post it here. It's a bit challenging, but I think it's pretty pertinent to parenthood, along with plenty of other things in life!

'Do not pray for easy lives, but pray to be stronger men.

Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers, but pray for power equal to your tasks.

Then the accomplishing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be a miracle.'

US clergyman Phillips Brooks
