1. Faith - What is your definition?
2. What ways do you foster faith versus obedience versus obedient faith? I know I have the pull to manipulate their behaviors at times and don't take this into consideration...........
3. Think about "doing" good works - do we give our children the desire to do good works with their heart?
4. I find it really comforting to hear that I am never parenting alone and the Spirit of God is my resource. Do you feel that you are coming along side Him or pushing Him out of the way to go it alone (those are my words from my awareness of my parenting style - someone raised to be an 'independent' and 'strong' woman)?
My favorite line from this chapter, "our part is not to control our children's behavior but rather to create a place for the Holy Spirit to do His work."
No one has posted yet, so I'm just writing to see if this works. =)
ReplyDeleteI am excited to learn more about the 10 distinct environments that we as parents can create in our homes for the Holy Spirit to work in our children's hearts.
