Discipline- training that develops self control, character, and orderliness.
"So discipline has a point, it is to train children. To mold and guide from wrong, hurtful patterns so they can learn to make good choices for themselves."
-Debbi Bryson
( Wisdom for Women Devo, April 23rd.)
We have a challenge precious mommas. We need to be strong and courageous when it comes to guiding our children. We need to stay in the game and pay attention to the patterns and habits our little ones are picking up and practicing. Something may be cute coming from a toddler, but how cute will it be coming from a teenager or adult? We have a work to do now as we guide and train our children in the way they should go. Discipline does not come in a one size fits all package. We need to be consistent and we need to KNOW our children and know what the Lord wants them to learn. The only way we can KNOW that is by knowing it for ourselves. This is training for both parent and child. BE ENCOURAGED! The Lord is using this in your life to build your character.
Dear Lord, give us mommas your perspective. Help us see beyond the everyday struggles, that there is something we are working towards. That you have a plan and a purpose and even though it's hard to train up these children and be consistent, there is a future being shaped. Please give us your wisdom, patience, and love today. Amen.
