Counting my Blessings
• Aug. 8, 2009 - In need of God's mercy
Father God,
I have had a really tough day. I was angry and frustrated. I yelled and treated my kids poorly. I feel really unworthy now. You gave me the gift of these children, and I did not behave as so. Forgive me. I need your mercy and forgiveness. I need wisdom to raise my kids properly.
Amen
Three Rules I would like to work on:
1. Obey right away.
2. Pick up your messes.
3. Be kind to others.
Right now getting everyone to follow these three rules seems like climbing a huge mountain. One step at a time we MUST get better at them. I love my kids. I want to like them too. Lately this has become a real challenge for me. Prayer would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Shepherding a Child's Heart by Ted Tripp
Say Goodbye to Whining, Complaining, and Bad Attitudes... in you and your kids! by Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller http://www.effectiveparenting.org/
Good and Angry: Exchanging Frustration for Character... in you and your kids! by Turansky & Miller http://www.effectiveparenting.org/

The above listed Christian books have provided me with some very helpful tactics, practical methods, and MUCH encouragement as a homeschooling mom. The Turansky/Miller books even have "Family Together Times" or "Bringing It Home" times to give almost a script to implement the new techniques.
Baby's awake... gotta go. Hope this helps. Let me know.
Blessings,
:)Michelle
