God grows us through pain. How else will they know how to navigate life’s storms as adults? Precious mamas, let your child cry today. Let them hurt and let them heal, but make sure through it all to let them lean on God.
Like I said earlier, scripture reminds us there’s “a time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance” (Ecclesiastes 3:4). Maybe today it’s time to let them cry. I promise they’ll be OK.
