Hello,
Raising little kids is fun! And interesting! And challenging….
As they start to become able to reason and understand
decisions and consequences you begin to hear their rationale for why they did
the wrong thing. The connections made between their environment at the time
(including the actions of others) and the choices they make are both unique –
and said with a great deal of conviction. One of the toughest lessons to work
with them on I have found is that they really do have a choice about their actions/decisions
– no matter what is going on around them.
Truth is, that pull of what is going on around them is
neither new…..nor will it go away. While that may be slightly depressing -
there is good news! The good news is found in 1 Corinthians 10:13 “No
temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful,
who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the
temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to
endure it.” (NASB)
There is a choice – we can make the right choice. Take
heart, look to Him and choose wisely!
Have a blessed day,
