Here's my whole crew ready to head off to school yesterday. This is something of a forced pose, because right now, sibling attitudes of love and acceptance are low. So if we keep teaching them to encourage one another and emphasize our school's theme verse to repsect one another: Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of
believers, fear God, honor the king.
I wonder if it will "take"? Consistency is hard to do as a parent, but we strive for it as best we can. We also try to treat each of our children as individuals, knowing that what does work for one doesn't work for all of them. From their perspective we're not being "fair" but like we tell them, who says life has to be fair? If it were, we wouldn't have a prayer of going to heaven, because there's no way we deserve it on our own!
