I loved this story, Lisa and am not surprised that the girl is your daughter. You have such a gentle way about you that I’m sure she has too.

Lisa, your story is just amazing and heart warming. I felt sad for the little girl at the beginning, but began smiling and nodding and Amening to your words as you progressed along. Wow, such a wonderful woman you have raised. To God be the glory. Blessings.

As someone raising teens right now, this story encourages me. And what a testament to you and your wise daughter. Special indeed.

Lisa, what a great story! This gave me such hope, I feel sometimes I have too many such stories that I stuff in my failure box, but I love the way you thought through the situation instead of stuffing it. When we take time to think through it objectively like you did, we reframe it through a clearer lens and are able to learn from it! Thank you!

wow inspirational. We never never know the impact of what we do now will affect the future. I was thinking of one of my own kids just this morning. She has sprinkled the walls of her home with neat sayings, instilling in her own kids a positive giving mindset. The home she and her hubby have created is a fun, small small. The kids see they work hard as a family. respecting one another. I know she is passing on values to those kids who right now have no ideas how blessed they are. Thanks Lisa for a wonderful blog post.

This is beautiful in so many ways, Lisa. But truly, I share your prayer …. may my children’s lives bear more fruit than I could have anticipated. But maybe that is just what the Lord has promised – to do exceedingly, abundantly beyond all we could think or imagine. You encouraged my mama heart today!

It’s always hard to intervene between parents and children, especially when it’s not a case of outright abuse or definitive wrong. What a great solution your daughter came up with, that wasn’t combative or confrontational. It’s heart-warming that you passed on your concerns and perceptions to your daughter.

Yes, I too often freeze in such situations, too. Partly because I can’t figure out what to do, partly because I am not confrontational. Like you, it takes me a while to think through a situation to decide the best course of action. Though I hope to do better, by God’s grace, maybe my part in such times n the past has been to pray.
