I'm thankful and encouraged...Thank you, Andrea.<br />I'm thankful and encouraged by your comments. It's a great encouragement to hear from young moms like you!<br /><br />It has always been, and always will be, a challenge to raise children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, because of the spiritual battle and their fallen-ness. Children are born "silly fools," a wise woman used to say. We have to train them to be otherwise.<br /><br />The ways of the world are so pervasive, and it is sad indeed that Christians have bought into so many of their lies.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your heart to raise your children for the Lord, and for your offer of a guest post! I accept guest posts on occasion, carefully. Let me pray and think about when and how that would work best, and you do the same, and then let's talk again. I will definitely read the post that you mentioned.<br /><br />Thanks again for the encouragement you bring of a heart that is open to teaching from an older woman. It blesses me a lot. <br /><br />Remember that you are an example to others for truly desiring to do God's will and obey His Word in your child-training, by God's grace and with His help. It matters and is making an eternal difference--keep humble and keep it up!<br />WendyWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230575436747893912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858170935046417472.post-31670336780899901212011-06-14T10:05:44.468-05:002011-06-14T10:05:44.468-05:00This series, as I mentioned before, is such a bles...This series, as I mentioned before, is such a blessing! Your biblical foundation in this particular portion of parenting is SO rare. I'm not sure you are aware of just how the lies of Satan permeate "Christian parenting" today. Perhaps you are aware..but either way, it is such a struggle to even <i>have any Christian friends</i>because so many are raising their children in manners that are counter to God's Word..therefore, getting together for dinner is awkward when their children are little hellions for the sake of a more "gentle" parenting method. <br /><br />I've written a lot about parenting and discipline. Here is a post about this very subject: http://andreamomm.blogspot.com/2010/05/gentle-parenting-my-foot-with-all.html<br /><br />You also mentioned temper tantrums. Ugh! In a world that teaches that you can either ignore the tantrum, or "gently love them through that", we completely leave out the responsibility of parents to teach their children to behave appropriately in public! Nearly everytime we go into public, our time together (either me grocery shopping or us out as a family) is is hampered by someone allowing their child to have fits. <br /><br />Our children are not perfect, but they all have been taught (yes, even our 2 year old knows what is expected, and the 9 month old is learning) how to behave in public..we will not ruin time out together, or infringe on the time of anyone else, with our selfish, rude and irresponsible behavior.<br /><br />Anyway, I wanted to say thank you again for the fellowship and guidance..it is a rare gem today.<br /><br />God Bless you much, and keep the posts coming. If you ever would appreciate a guest post on any topic (not that you need one, but I see a lot of blogs doing this) I'd love to be a part if you'd have me.Rightthinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448900188921522323noreply@blogger.com
