Even though I don't agree with the wording of this completely (none are <i>good</i> except the Lord!), it was a slap in the face the day I read it. And along with this entry of yours, and a similar post of LeAnna's, it's been timely and so needed in correcting my perspective of shepherding my girls. I've found I <i>have</i> been more harsh than understanding of their little hearts. And harsh for selfish reasons, not even loving, disciplinary reasons.<br />But after I read that pin, read LeAnna's post, and now after I read your heart here, the Lord is changing the way I view my girls and their fits of emotion/anger. It doesn't mean I've eliminated discipline, but I've definitely approached it completely different and I'm seeing the fruit of it already! Praise the Lord. :) So thank you so much for this!Anglican Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07249115198113456073noreply@blogger.com
