If it is hard, why would we ever do it, when ease is so, well, easy? Yet we do do hard things. My wife Melanie and I never voluntarily went into parenting believing it would be easy; the challenge was half the attraction. Why? Well, because great challenges met bring great blessings and rewards! What’s even more amazing is that we can grow and strengthen even when we fail.
