My Lesson Learned this week is we owe it to our children to raise them right. That means teaching them well, being a good example for them to follow, and placing priority where it needs to be. And, like anything worthwhile, it takes work, hard work, to achieve this. It also takes up a lot of your time. Time to be present and to listen, to love and to gently guide. But, if you do your job well, you have done the world a favor. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it. Thanks to all those great parents out there that take the responsibility seriously.
