Wonderful post, and I like the discipline routine as well. For my little one, I ask him, "Tell me what you were doing wrong, and now tell me what you should have been doing." Then the apology, forgiveness & prayer.

And yeah, it's a tough one, trying to get them to accept that they are forgiven. My daughter said she keeps saying sorry to God, so I said to her, "How would you feel if I said sorry to you again and again for the same thing? You say sorry once, and it's gone."

God bless

Thnak-you, Sandy, for this reminder. In my difficult weeks with difficult children, it helps to remember that there is a strategic pattern I can follow. One that gives the training and discipline they need, while providing the clear structure I need.

LOVE it. The patience we have to have as parents and the bittersweet example of how God must lovingly discipline us over and over is awesome.

Hugs,

Oh Sandy, I love best as a child. What a great example for us all. And yes, how thankful I am for the Lord's patience with me. Give your little girl a big hug. She's not alone.

Love you,

With a 2 yr old and 8 month old twins . . .your post spoke straight to my days and hearts. There are so many times in my exasperation I have to marvel at the endless grace and patience my Savior has with me.

Thanks for the reminder to persevere . . .for my girls AND for me. : )

Bless your heart; you had a trying day. You are so right about God using our children to teach us. I always say my children are raising me. The enemy likes to get in the mix also and it's so important for me to recognize him in my children before I go off the deep end. Even as teenagers, I see my children are precious gifts.

Bless you for sharing your trying day (smile).
