Sunday Dwight continued the LIVIN’ IN THE HOOD series (part 2, Three Critical Questions). Here are some of the scuds:
- Parenting is one of the most difficult jobs that anyone could sign up for….it’s also one of the most rewarding.
- Your goal is not to become a perfect parent. God does not expect you to be a perfect parent.
- If you try to be a perfect parent, you’ll kill everyone around you.
- We are the sum total of our experiences, relationships, and choices.
- Your kids, 15 years from now, will be wherever they are because of their experiences, relationships, and choices.
- The key in all those are the relationships.
- Our culture influences us to have our kids be experience rich and relationally poor.
- If your kids are going to make it in this world, they’re going to have to be relationally healthy.
- What would happen if your son or daughter would surrender every area of their life to God?
- I believe that God’s will for my kids is exactly what they would do if they knew all the facts. The problem is, they don’t know all the facts. So my responsibility is to nurture a relationship with them that helps them understand that they can trust God.
- You can’t do that simply by “saying grace” before meals.
- If you’re not intentional about this, they’ll pick up the wrong things.
- Kids need to see Mom and Dad trusting God, even when it doesn’t make sense.
- We, as parents, need to be intentional about helping our kids develop healthy relationships outside of the home.
- Your kids’ friends will determine the direction and quality of their lives.
- Y’all okay?
- What you don’t want is your kids growing up and saying, “I wish my parents would have been more intentional about helping me develop a relationship with my Heavenly Father.”
- If your kids cannot develop and maintain healthy relationships, they will not enjoy life.
