Amy we have five children and I know what you mean by “almost impossible to pay attention to everything that happens.” But one thing that’s great about a large family is all the incredible opportunities for spiritual development that happen as the kids interact with each other. I believe that is one advantage of having a lot of kids.

I am in agreement with you here. Even when we are doing ministry (like Aaron was) and loving God (like Aaron was)we can easily miss the unraveling right in front of us. As a mother of four, I find it almost impossible to pay attention to everything… and that is why prayer and asking the Holy Spirit for guidance is so important. We have to remember that even on our best days, we are imperfect parents and who serve a perfectly capable and gracious God. What a loving God we serve who will smash down our idols when we erect them!

You know Stanley W. C. Baldwin was the BEST at intentional parenting!

This is such a great example of intentional parenting! I must admit Roland and I have been called out a time or two by our girls as well! What a humbling learning experience it was for both of us! Its amazing how much our children learn when they see mom and dad admit they are wrong and go to that person to make the wrong right! Thanks for sharing and it’s a great reminder for me!

What a great example of how we should train
our kids. Thanks for sharing that.
