Close Up Parents
Parenting is one of the hardest jobs that will ever be held. This sermon is number four in a series entitled "Picture Perfect". Learn how to be the parent that is pleasing to God and a blessing to the home.
"I am wondering right now how many frustrated people are in this building, whose memories harken back to parents that you could never totally please. Most every one of us in this room knows someone that is driven to succeed to the nth degree, because they are haunted by the ghost of unrealistic expectations that one or both parents placed on them. There are others in this room who live in perpetual sadness because of a parent that never showed them the affection and the attention that they deserved. My own father had a mother who lived to be ninety-nine years old and in ninety-nine years she never one time told him that she loved him.
We are in the middle of a series entitled, Picture Perfect, and we have been reminded that there is no such thing as a completely, totally, 24/7 picture perfect family. We have learned, however, that in God's eyes a picture perfect family is a family that strives to be a picture of His love for His glory.
TODAY, WE ARE GOING TO TACKLE, PERHAPS, THE MOST DIFFICULT JOB IN THE WORLD AND THE MOST DIFFICULT ROLE IN THE FAMILY - THAT OF BEING A PARENT. "
