Parenting

Read this article today on the Gospel Coalition blog. I felt like Kevin stepped into our home and shared a real life example straight from a conversation with one of my kids. It made me laugh out loud. I really appreciated these words:


"I just know that the longer I parent the more I want to focus on doing a few things really well, and not get too passionate about all the rest. I want to spend time with my kids, teach them the Bible, take them to church, laugh with them, cry with them, discipline them when they disobey, say sorry when I mess up, and pray like crazy."

I couldn't agree more. I can read and study up on parenting methods/models but at the end of the day I want my kids to remember that their daddy & mommy loved Jesus with all their heart, not perfectly by any means, and that they deeply wanted their children to know and love Jesus too.

Check it out.
