Faith In Parents #133 | The Adventure of Motherhood

It turns out that motherhood is not about apple pie. Listen to the reality of motherhood lived out in Linda and Sarah's lives. They are a mother and daughter who have walked through rebellion, illness and parenting, sometimes together and sometimes apart. Theirs is a story of redemption, with some great lessons learnt along the way, not least that if we clamp our joy to our children's emotions and outcomes, then we are in for a rough ride!
