quality mom and dad





Our church has started a 'Focus on your Family' series for the next 6 weeks zeroing in on God's purpose for parenting and how we go about fulfilling that purpose. Derrick and I are excited for the challenges it may bring.....as we have been "winging" this parenting thing thus far! Or at least that's how it feels. My favorite verse so far is Deut. 6:5-7 saying,

"Love the Lord you God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."

With a family focus in mind or if you have children, "chew" on that awhile. It's guarenteed to intrigue areas in which we as parents can do better at enjoying and admonishing our children in sight of our Lord Jesus and what He's done for us.
