Not much is happening today. Though, I am currently aware of God's amazing kindness!! I haven't been doing well in the area of giving consequences for sinful choices nor have I been consistent in disciplining. This is where having 5 kids truly stretches me. Trying to catch all those moments or opportunities to teach God's truth through disciplining-wow-well lets just say-I struggle with keeping on top of those things. Then comes a day like today when the Lord so kindly reminds or shows me specifically, "This is where I want you to focus your attention on "Johnny".
Thankfully today I was able to carry out a consequence for this particular child...it took several consequences to get the message across! Yet, his heart was quite different throughout the day!
Thank you Lord that you enabled me to carry out the discipline/consequence necessary.
It's tough to be consistent, yet you promise there to be the peaceful fruit of righteousness...!!
I can vouch that there was definitely more peace in our home and in the child.
(Now onto the other 4 children!!)
"For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it."
Hebrews 12:11
