Thoughts for Today
If you are a single parent, you have probably found that no matter how hard you try or how excellent your parenting skills, you cannot be both a father and a mother to your child. Many single parents try to fill both roles. This is unrealistic and impossible and can lead to a real sense of frustration and exhaustion. It is vital that you are willing to share the load.
Consider this ...
All children need exposure to both male and female approaches to parenting. In looking for an appropriate role model for your child, ask for help from someone you trust. As you search for the right person or persons to fill this role, make sure that any person who takes this kind of role in your child's life has a healthy interest in your child's well-being, and not an unhealthy one.
Effective role models may be siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents or others who are present in your child's life. If you don't have any family who can help in this way, explore the possibility of someone in your church or try an organization like Big Brothers Big Sisters. Don't try to do it alone. Help is available!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Father, sometimes I struggle to be both father and mother to my children. Help me to remember that help is available and to be willing to ask for that help. Please guide me in making good choices. In Jesus' name ...
