It takes a village to raise a child

We've all heard how "it takes a village to raise a child". I wonder, what will it take for us to raise my 5:)  I try my best to research and gather information on how to be a fit parent.  I will listen to wise counsel from Godly parents who have walked the road or are in the mist of it. For example, Ms. Julia( a God sent to us, we love Ms. Julia)  she watches over my two little ones while we are at work. She provided me with great advise from her small group class on disciplining your child in a Godly manner.

• The advise- Have your child read a verse in the bible and write an essay on what he/she just read.

Excellent idea, however the challenge is introducing this reading as something positive and  not as a punishment:) 

My older boy Z and his younger brother C, made a few bad choices one morning while waiting for their school bus. I wanted to ring their little necks(in a loving way :) ), but instead I prompted my husband with the idea of providing a bible verse discussion.  I was so proud of my Hubby, he took Proverbs 13, read it to the boys. His tone of voice was perfect, not in anger but in LOVE.  So important for us to understand, God is a LOVING GOD, not only in times of Discipline but also when he is showering us with Gifts.
