Joyce Meyer - Worrying About Your Kids

how many of you tend to worry that's right put him up nice and high none of this stuff you know some mothers think they're not good mothers don't worry about their kids I said something that somebody recently was doing my hair and something about not worrying about your kid and she said well you know we just we're gonna worry and I thought no I'm not you know why I worried about my kids and they all grew up and they're all serving God and they've all got good lives they've also got imperfections but some of the ones that I thought would never amount to anything come on don't don't tell me you don't have kids like you wonder kid will you ever get out of the house and be able to take care of yourself am I gonna have to take care of you the rest of your life and it's funny one of my daughters who's just a real good friend of mine she was so messy and sloppy and forgetful and oh my gosh I thought it would drive me absolutely insane and you know I'd give the mother speech if you're gonna live in my house come on anybody know that speech if you are gonna live in my house you are gonna do things my way and that daughter when she got away from me got married she didn't speak to me for six months and she just let her house get in a mess one day I was out with her and I had to go to the bathroom and I said let me go let me go to the bathroom at your place for file a she said nope you're not coming in my house you are not coming in my house I'll pray for you to make it home but you're not coming in my [Laughter] and that girl now takes care of me when I go to the doctor she goes with me so she can remind me of what he said she runs all my errands and takes care of our finances forest with our money of course but she still takes care of them and I would have never in my wildest imagination ever have thought that I could trust that girl to keep my life organized so I'm just telling you you're worrying for nothing just pray be a good example and go on about your business and enjoy your little life because they're gonna grow up and leave home and they're gonna surprise you if you're a good example and you pray for them I do believe that if you train them up right eventually they'll come back around they're doing what's right I can't say that 100% for sure all the time because we know people have free will but I mean I both of our sons work at the ministry and yeah I can't get into all that but I you know I would have never thought that they could ever do what they're doing now
