As my children get older I realize more and more that our time with them is limited. Just the other day I saw a photo of a peaceful spot my daughter and I used to go - and there instead were her and her friends together.  It is during these moments I reflect on my mother and the times I shared with her and I give thanks for having such a great role model of being a mom, knowing when to cherish the times, and when to let go and watch your child(ren) fly.Today on Holly's Highlights podcast we will look at 4 tips on embracing hope through the heartaches of motherhood. From the discouragements and watching our children face consequences in life, to the important role we play and enjoying each season we find ourselves in with our kiddos, we'll learn:1. that it's worth it2. not to take full credit, nor all the blame3. the importance of being their parent4. intentionally being in the momentOur children spreading their wings and flying is perfectly normal and healthy. No matter the stage of life they are in may we always choose to embrace hope through the heartaches of motherhood.For more on this topic I highly recommend the following resources:Babywise books for new momsHomebuilders parenting series for those with school aged children (this makes a great small group study too)Family Camp at Glorieta in New Mexico (mention Holly’s Highlights podcast to inquire about a first time discount)
