A Game PlanOctober 2013
Try to make your rules for your children to work for all locations that you take your child. (5 second rule may not be acceptable.)
Looking with your eyes not with your hands OR tongues, feet, etc.
Enjoy the fun of little ones growing in the knowledge and love of Jesus — even when their consonants and innocence produce somewhat inaccurate renditions of the lessons. Suggestions and policies such as “Prepare the night before” really does reduce stress, but laughter helps get you through the unprepared moments.
Keeping up with little ones can be very challenging at best and seemingly impossible at times. Baby proofing a home to help keep a baby safe is very important for those off moments.
Laughter and joy make even the most difficult times “do-able” and help us hear from God and plug into His help when we are at our worst and most needy times. “The joy of the Lord is my strength.”
Find a mentor who has “been there, done that” with both successes and failures to remind you that little by little your child is learning and growing and thriving under your loving care. The final victory belongs to God not to moms.
