Harsh? or Preping for Reality
The other day Kevin and the boys were wrestling. They usually wrestle but this time I was watching in amusement. This day the wrestling seemed more intense than before. They were all having a good time but Kevin was letting them have it!
Then my mind wandered to how wild animals wrestle and "train" their babe's. Be it cubs or eaglet's they all get a fair beating! Eaglets get chucked over the side of the nest to learn how to fly! Tiger cubs wrestle and play to train for hunting.
As parents our job is to train our children. It's hard sometimes and sometimes we just want to protect them and not disciple them and hope that they will learn for next time. We ain't doing them any favors by not doing our job.
Kevin and I do all we can to train our boys in love. If parents understand what real love is and true compassion we will have no problems correction our children and bringing them to the standard that God requires of all His children.
An amazing book that has helped me as a mom is called Shepherding a Child's Heart By Tedd Trip.
Blessings as you train your kids and those around you.
