Untold numbers of new mothers turn to journaling after the birth of their babies in order to express their hearts. Here, Helen presents an idea to help pass on that precious information to those whom we love. She created a booklet of five very personal stories for her daughter-in-law, as a gift shortly after her marriage to Helen's son. More than a record, the booklet offers "just ten" of the many life-lessons that her son, Adam, taught her during motherhood, while also highlighting various key characteristics that she saw manifest in him from the day of his birth and as he grew toward manhood. The stories are presented so that his new wife might understand what God has been building into her husband from his beginning, as a foundation for their future purpose together.

 

 

Here is Helen's introduction:

Helen hopes that parents anywhere might tailor this idea to their own unique situations, creating insight that will bring families closer in heart and home. In her own words, this writing is:

"... for the sake of expanding our vision as parents - that we are not the only teachers in the parent/child relationship. Our children teach us, and as we expand our vision in our relationship with them, we can become better students of life under their innocent yet wise instruction. My little book exposes only ten, "just ten" of the things I learned from Adam; he actually taught me much more."
