They cautioned us not to stifle her spirit. I have never forgotten that. And they were so right. When she puts her mind to it, and God is in it, there's NOTHING our girl can't do. <BR/><BR/>You've written a terrific post! I look forward to hearing more about the book.The Sourcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01445281088837499229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955076100721227013.post-83392517089715812202008-07-28T05:24:00.000-07:002008-07-28T05:24:00.000-07:00Being Early Childhood trained I have always been a...Being Early Childhood trained I have always been accutely aware of the individuality of each and every child, in how we must approach them regarding their care and education. As a parent, being mindful of God's instruction, I run the "train up a child" verse in my head constantly, and always have emphasised the "should" (which is my version) - "train up a child in they way they SHOULD go." And it's funny because I never have thought that there was a certain 'one way' that we MUST do that; that, really, every child is different, with their own God-given gifts and potential, and we should be very mindful of WHO they are. So reading your post was very interesting and I'm so glad you shared it with us. I'm off to google the book you mentioned to hopefully get a hold of it... I loved reading your other recent posts. The Walmart loo story had me in stitches! Hope you're having a lovely day...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955076100721227013.post-45173046360251456662008-07-27T16:59:00.000-07:002008-07-27T16:59:00.000-07:00great post. sounds like i need to read that book.i...great post. sounds like i need to read that book.i have a hard to figure out child and i so often feel discouraged about how i am training her (or even if i am...).Melissa Stoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12839619836478423452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955076100721227013.post-74898064705288344552008-07-27T16:57:00.000-07:002008-07-27T16:57:00.000-07:00I have heard that too-- that that verse really tra...I have heard that too-- that that verse really translates as "train up a child according to his bent". Puts a whole different perspective on it. That's why sometimes we have different rules & expectations for different kids.<BR/><BR/>As for that link I posted in my blog-- the discussion basically is about the basic Christian middle-class lifestyle and how much of our resources we spend frivolously on ourselves rather than committing them to further God's kingdom. I don't think *you* have to be afraid to read it. Your family life is committed to furthering God's kingdom. You're already living the call.40winkzzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707345570759229347noreply@blogger.com
