Parenting can be hard. It is often selfless & thankless. Today's message is about being a burden. I am just going to post something for pondering..
Do you as a parent or does your parent feel like a burden? Here is an article I found.. it is interesting & relatable from a parental standpoint. Today, might be one of those you feel like a burden, everyday might feel like you are a burden, but just know that God does not see you as a burden. If you feel like you are, ask God to hug you, hold you, love on you. You are not a burden.
