Janet Miller in our ward once told of a time when she was a mom of a difficult child, to which she was told: "Our Children are like Presents. They are given to us and it is our opportunity to unwrap them and to enjoy them as they are, however they are." We're not here to change the gift. We're not here to judge it, criticize it, or hide it in a closet. It's a gift from our Father in Heaven, and even if it's not what WE were hoping for, it is what HE knows is best.
So, embrace the gift. Appreciate it. Give it your best attention and energies. Make it better than when you opened it. Take care of it and LOVE it!
