This has been one of those trying weeks. You know what I'm talking about? The kind where momma is running around like a crazy woman trying to get it all done and no is cooperating – if anything, the troops are sabotaging your every effort towards progress.
I need a warning sign for my home:
“Proceed with Caution – Child Training in Progress”
We had an opportunity to use our Child Training Bible over the weekend to talk about obedience. {Looking for the Child Training Bible giveaway winner?} I went through a half dozen verses with the offending child, who shall remain nameless. Here's how we did it:
- He read the verse.
- I asked meaning of words he didn't know and defined as needed.
- We restated the verse in words he could understand.
- We looked at the blessings and consequences of actions as stated in the verse.
- We prayed about choosing to be wise instead of foolish.
In the moment, in the middle of my frustration and feelings of being overwhelmed, I was so thankful for a resource like the Child Training Bible that I could pick up and know right where to go to get the answers I needed quickly.
Child Training in Progress. It's a dangerous job, but someone has to do it.
