Shepherding a Child's Heart

Today I finally finished one of the many books I'm reading, Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp. I saw in this book alot of things I really need to improve in training my children. I was also encouraged to press on because how we finish is so important. I want to see Abby, Erin and Samuel obey because they love me and Dave and want to please God. One huge thing in this book was the importance of communication. I have learned that when we are consistent with them in discipline we all enjoy each other. When we lack in our training and discipline everyone is miserable and we don't even enjoy our kids. It would be a great disservice to them to not to train and discipline them. This is a lifelong journey and very hard sometimes.

If a child is corrected, he becomes wise. But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother. Proverbs 29:15
