Single Parents
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding.
Proverbs 3:5
"Whatever with the past has gone, the best is always yet to come."
Lucy Larcom
Words from James
I was forty years old when I became a single-dad parent after my wife died in an automobile accident. My children were 5, 9 and 11 at the time, two sons and a daughter. I raised my children with the help of relatives, friends, neighbors, teachers and many, many others for over 15 years. I have been there, done that and worn that single parent t-shirt. I learned to lean on and to trust God for all that was happening in our lives. I can't imagine my children and me going through what all we have been going through without God at our sides, without our faith in Jesus Christ. It's not always been easy. I learned to move from just trying to survive each day, early on, as a single parent to establishing new dreams and moving on with my life. I have become whole again. You too can establish new dreams for you and your family and become whole again.
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
