Many parents go above and beyond to pay for their children's college education. They do it because they love their children and want to help launch them into the world.  Though it's not an obligation, most parents bless their children in this way. But what about when a child begins to live a lifestyle that is dishonoring to God? Should parents continue? That's the ask on this week'...

 When God gives children to you, there is so much to learn and so much to trust Him with.  The same is true when God gives grandchildren.  So much to learn. So much to trust God with.  audreybroggi.com
