Do you like to run? Most people don’t. To excel, the sport requires training, endurance, and determination.

In some ways, parenting is a lot like running a race. But the parenting race is more similar to a marathon than a sprint.

When our boys are young, it feels like we’re providing constant instruction and correction. We wonder, “Will this ever end?”

But before you know it, you’ve rounded the corner and face the teen years. You encounter new hurdles, attitudes, and challenges, weariness, discouragement.

Regardless of where you’re at in the parenting race, don’t quit! Because the Lord entrusted you with training your son, He will provide the strength to victoriously finish the race!
