When I read about this children’s book I was astounded. Josh Harris posted about the book on his website and offers some great feedback on what our response as Christians and mothers should be towards a book of this content. Basically, A plastic surgeon has written a children’s book about mothers having tummy tucks, nose jobs and etc. Please click the link below to read more about it.

This article so fits in with something the Lord showed me on Sunday. After Jared’s sermon, I shared with Don briefly some ideas in regards to raising our children. One thing that the Lord struck me with is being aware of my struggles and not passing them on to my children especially the ones that are rooted deep. For example, if we have a little girl I do not want our daughter to think that she has to have make-up on or her hair done to be able to go out in public. And the list can go on with other examples. The Lord is showing us ways and developing ideas as to help protect our children. I know I must teach and be an example to our children to what it means by having Christ as my identity, not beauty. Please share any thoughts or experiences you have gone through.
