My friend told me about the following webpage today:
http://www.aholyexperience.com/10-points-of-joyful-parenting-printable/
Scroll to the bottom of the page.
How powerful is that. As I attempt to create a house of filled with joy, this really puts into perspective how to get there. At the beginning of this school year, I told my children that we are going to work on "glorifying God in all we do." As this school year is almost over, I have realized that the glorifying must start with me.
The thing that I noticed as I read each point of "a parenting manifesto of joy", is that it all starts with "I." Not what she will have her children do, or what she will have her husband do, or others do. What I will do ... I will seek to have a home filled with joy. The joy that only comes from my father in heaven and time spent with Him.
That's why I married you. You are a woman who loves her family and led by God. Keep it up!!!
