Him and give it to them daily
-motivated by love
Enjoy: Neh. 8:10 the joy of the Lord is your strength
-children are a blessing, but only if we don’t resist what they are
teaching us as we raise them (not resentful)
-Prov. 31:25 she laughs at the time to come
(not always stressed out)
-are we stopping to laugh and trust that God is working in/through
our kids? We aren’t parenting alone.
Affirm: Prov. 31:26 she opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of
kindness is on her tongue.

him is diligent to discipline him
-Rev. 3:19 those who I love I reprove and discipline, so be zealous
and repent
-Our Father knows that sin leads to death, so He disciplines us to
keep us from harm; don’t always say yes (selfish, unrealistic, spoiled)
