Discipline, Character and Hope
Rom 5:3-5: "but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us (NASU).
When our children suffer, whether from their own bad choices or those of someone else, we want so badly to rescue them from the pain or to tell them how to avoid finding themselves in that predicament again.
But, God has another plan - to perfect them through their trials. Character building lessons are rarely learned from the triumphs of life. Rather, it is the trials in our lives that teach us how to persevere despite the pain. Taking trials away from our kids deprives them of the chance to grow, build character and learn to hope in God.
The best character-building lessons are learned from trials. Try not to inhibit your child's growth by rescuing or taking over a difficult situation.

 ~Chicken Caesar Salad~ Caesar Salad Dressing: | |
2 cup mayonnaise 2 tbsp lemon juice 2 tsp Worcestershire 2 clove of garlic (minced) 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 1 c Parmesan cheese 2 tbsp of milk Mix all ingredients together and shake or whisk until well blended. Preparing the chicken: Cut up 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts into cubes. Place 1/4 of the dressing (above recipe) in a ziplock and marinade the cut upchicken in it, for an hour. Skewer the chicken pieces and grill. Turn frequently and baste. In a large bowl, toss Romaine with dressing. Serve and top with a skewer of chicken and grate fresh Parmesan over top of all. My daughter makes some wonderful garlic bread to go with this. She slices Italian bread and broils on low. When toasty brown, she spreads olive oil on top and rubs with a fresh garlic clove. | |
Home should be a place where there is no room for pride. Respect and self-dignity, yes, but haughty arrogance born of position? No! Respect your little ones and serve them. Honor your elders and give your best to them. Don't play favorites in relationships, or allow a child to think he is favored. Ultimately, home should be a place marked by "equal-opportunity love."
