My babies aren't babies anymore. My oldest is already twenty and my youngest fifteen. People say don't blink because it goes by so fast, they couldn't be more correct. The years have flown by. With my oldest away at college, I often think over the twenty years of raising her and her siblings. Was there anything I missed in teaching them? Where did I lack? Did I mess anything up? Did I say anything that deeply hurt them? I pray to God to fill in any gaps I left, I thank Him for grace, and I praise Him that it is never too late.
Family Life has a new movie, Like Arrows, all about raising children and the legacy we leave them.
When conflict, rebellion, and resentment overwhelm their family, Charlie and Alice are forced to rethink their parenting strategy. In the process, they realize how critical intentionality and focus are when shaping and molding young lives. Family Life’s first feature film explores the challenges and joys that come with raising children. Through a journey that unfolds over 50 years, Charlie and Alice discover the unmistakable power of family. Together, they learn that knowing and living by God’s Word is what brings transformation and hope to any family.
Like Arrows encouraged, inspired, convicted, and challenged me in my parenting. As Charlie and Alice go through the years of parenthood, you will see yourself at some point. It may be their highs, it may be their lows, but it will likely be a good mix of both. You will end the movie challenged and ready to make a change for the better.
Whether you are thinking of having children, have little ones, have school aged kids, have teens, have adult children, or have grandchildren, this movie is a must see. It will change your life and your legacy in the best possible way.

I struggle with watching my adult children make choices they know are not pleasing to God. Please pray for us.

ReplyDeleteMy two children are married and sometimes I feel the choices they make are not the wisest ones.
ReplyDeleteI understand. It is so hard to watch them make their own choices when you feel they are not making wise ones. Praying for your family.
DeleteI have twin girls whom just turned 12. I'm struggling with the I don't care, not listening, and phone calls from the school with one. I know I will eventually make it through this but currently I am having a rough time.
