Every parent makes mistakes. Some mistakes are small and funny, the kind you laugh about later in life. Others can leave a bigger mark and feel heavier. Either way, whenever we make parenting mistakes, we have the opportunity to remember this: God’s in control. His grace is enough, and He’s always working to redeem and restore. It’s easy to feel like we have to get everything right or be perfect, but perfection isn’t the goal. We’re imperfect people raising imperfect people, and bumps along the way are absolutely normal. The good news is that God’s wisdom and guidance are always there for us if we’ll just take a moment to seek Him in everything we do.

This month’s Parenting Class shares a lighthearted story about a parenting fail, reminding us that all is not lost, even when it feels like it is. There are a few key things parents can focus on that will serve them well, both in the joyful moments and the challenging ones. Leaning into God’s grace and learning to trust Him more can bring a sense of calm and confidence in the midst of life’s storms. Jesus reminds us that trouble is a part of this world, and sometimes that trouble shows up in our homes. But we can choose to hold on to the hope God offers, accept His grace, and keep moving forward with courage and faith.
