Discuss: Grateful for Discipline

1

Ashley—-Love your comments! I too have seen refelctions of myself in my neices and nephews. When we lived with Keri and Andrew, God used their childrens so often to expose my sin and to enable me to see the metaphor of myself in their actions. I’m so thankful God is such a good parent to me!

Good stuff!

Love you!

Ahh—how very much we are like the little ones resisting discipline! I think of how many times I take my little guy by the hand and tell him no, turn him around, and try to show him the right thing to do only to have him turn right back around to look at what he just got in trouble for doing… How often I think of how God does that for us and wonder if He ever tires of the process. I often say, “Do not even LOOK that direction because it’s going to get you into trouble” yet he does anyway and gets disciplined. Sometimes, I can almost hear God saying the exact same things to me. I love the lessons the Lord is continually teaching me through parenthood!!
