The devastating experiences of your life didn't come to stay- they came to pass. The pass is just a barometer that allows us to access what happened and make changes for the future.It is a compass, not a magnet. DO not allow it to draw you into a repetiton of events.
Four principles to teach your family to use the events and circumstances of the past as stepping stones into opportunities to experience the glorious future God has for each family member.

Book: HELP! I'm Raising My Children ALONE
