Yesterday Jeremy e-mailed me a link to an article by Tedd Tripp. It is a really great article and reminded me of what I'm doing as I parent. (Sometimes it's easy to forget.) I especially liked his comment:
"You are not looking, ultimately, for children who can be threatened or persuaded to follow your commands. You are looking for children who live self-consciously and joyfully in God’s world as people who submit to God and to the authorities whom God has ordained."
There ought to be a reason for my child to do what is right, not just because it is right.
