Our Top 5!

Danny and I are taking a class at church called Revolutionary Parenting. The assignment a few weeks ago (I am a little late posting this) was to decide together on your top 5 nonnegotiable characteristics you want your children to possess when they leave your home. We finally had a minute to finalize our list.
We want our girls to...
1. have a genuine love for Christ and a personal relationship with him.
2. cherish their family and friends and understand that marriage is forever.
3. have a moral conscience that guides their decisions.
4. respect other people and have a desire to help them.
5. be responsible for their actions, finances, relationships, learning, and health.

We have also started having daily Bible readings with Ellie. We read a story from her children's Bible and then she draws or colors something that goes with the story we read. I think this is going to become a wonderful addition to our evenings!!!
More than anything, I am thankful for this class because it has reminded Danny and me that we need to be intentional about modeling and teaching our girls how to love God and how to care for others.

  1. Those are great ones. I love the daily reading idea too. Obviously you are already modeling more than you know.
