so i'm taking a class through our church about parenting. i actually took it last year, but i wanted to take it again b/c there was so much good information that i couldn't soak it all up in one session. i thought i would share a little of what i learn - my "take aways" from each week. these principles are so valuable that i almost feel selfish keeping them to myself. And, it may not be anything NEW, but it is a great refresher! so here goes...
this week was the overview and i left with TWO major ideas:
"God isn't asking you to be a perfect parent,
but a faithful one!"
and that Jesus was the ultimate example of a good teacher.
read john 13.
read john 13.
- He loves
- He knows Himself, His children, and His God
- He is a model
- He instructs through good questions and very little words
- He corrects
- He perseveres without immediate results
- He encourages
when i look at this list i see several areas that i need help in. thankfully, i need just be faithful!
wow, I wish I could take that class! I feel very inadequate these days as a mom. Keep posting summaries of the class because I loved this first summary!
