We began this lesson in Sunday school a couple weeks ago. It is going to be a great study. When I really got to looking at this study and saw the couple's picture, I realized I have heard this material before. I had the privilege of hearing the couple that wrote this study at one of the LifeWay conferences I went to in Nashville when I was Children's Director at our church. It was awesome and I'm so glad they made a study out of the material they shared.
Sunday we talked about "letting go of your children" and even right from the beginning. They are not ours they are God's. He created them. Ultimately they are His! Today I read about having a "yes" home. When I heard this couple speak the thing I remember them saying about having a "yes" home is saying yes in the everyday things and leaving the NO's for the major things. I have committed to setting down with Livy more when she asks and doing things that she wants to do. It may sound like a little thing, but how they view you is ultimately how they view God. We aren't God of course, but since we take care of our kids and love them we DO shape their view of who God is. Is He our loving Heavenly Father and someone we can have a daily relationship with? Or is He someone who is very distant and not approachable? This study has made me want to know God more so I can show His love to my girls . I want them to come to know Him as their Savior and have an daily walk with Him. This is going to be super study!
