The Challenge of Parenting (5 of 5)

1 Samuel 2:12-30
I don't know about you, but I like to do puzzles. I like to get the paper in the morning and do the Jumble and the Crypto-quote and the Crossword puzzle. I like word puzzles. Debbie, she likes number puzzles. Well, she has turned me on recently to the Sudoku puzzle. It's numbers 1 through 9. And you have to figure out what number goes in the right spot, one through 9. Now it can be pretty hard, especially if you're not good with numbers. But, you know, the thing about puzzles, the reason that many of us like to do them, they're a challenge.

But kids, although they're a great blessing, they're also a great source of stress and difficulty and blood and sweat and tears. One mother of preschoolers, stressed out, was asked by a friend, "Hey, if you could do it all over again, would you still have kids?" She said, "Yes, I would, but not these!" And so that can be hard for us. But kids are wonderful. And the Scripture tells us, as we do this thing ca ...
