Good Advice

At church this morning we took communion. We always have communion the first Sunday of the month. After we go and take communion, we are handed an envelope with a special scripture, thought, or address of a church member that needs our prayers.

My quote this morning......

"The more time we spend training our
children on the front end, the less time we
will have to spend disciplining them on
the back end."
Words we all can live by!!

I've never heard of that envelope thing - I might pass that on to my pastors - it's a good idea!

I like your quote you got. With a 4 and 7 year old it seems I do both. But I think the "training" side has a lot to do with modeling (gulp). Maybe that's just because that's something God is laying on my heart (double gulp!). Thanks for sharing!

Definitely a quotable quote! I'm writing that one down.
