Jun. 29, 2009 - Intentional Heart Training this week
As I mentioned in my previous post I had two main thoughts for heart training this week. Here are more of my thoughts.
My two training goals:
* that we use our time wisely, that we are aware of what we are doing and what we should be doing.
* that we recognise and encourage each other in our different gifts and strengths
I came to these two points through two lines of thought
1. seeing a weakness in our family life
2. seeing what was planned and how I could address the weaknesses in amongst all our commitments and plans.
With just a few minutes of thought - I've thought on the character trait that is lacking -
* Orderliness - I will use things only for their intended purposes (even time)
* Self control - I will not act impulsively
* punctuality - I will plan a daily schedule and keep it!
* Thoroughness - I will finish what I start
* Encouragement - to put courage in, so the other person will be all that they can be
(these words come from Character First definitions)
I will use these key phrases throughout the week. I am going to make a poster using a stoplight as our signal of caution - and self control (stop, think about it, go)
So what are you going to teach your kids hearts this week?

Be a Deliberate Parent
We need to know where we want to take our family, and how we are going to get there. We need to be very deliberate in our training of our children.
Homemaking
In amongst the parenting, the training, the homeschooling I must remember that I am also a homemaker.
