"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap if we faint not." Galations 6:9
Recently in the midst of garden, yard and daily duties which is so numerous in the summer,I have been fighting battles, battles against sluggish obedience from my children. "Right away, all the way and with a happy smile" is the logo we're trying to instill.
I don't know why but training my children seems a great deal harder than the easy, "pat" answers you read in different childtraining books . . . or sometimes the advice you get from "onlookers". And many, many times I grow weary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
. . . But we will reap what we sow.
Ecclesiastes 11:6a "In the morning sow thy seed and in the evening withhold not thine hand."
Psalm 126:5&6 "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him."
Many times in my faintheartedness I go forth with tears, tired of having to do this discipline, training, reminding and explaining. But I must not give up . . . and by the grace of God I will rejoice today and in days to come!

Hey Aimee,
I'm with you all the Way!! I have been really struggleing with my children this summer. Some days are so hard. Sometimes I wonder if I even know what patience it!!:( By the way, we had a baby girl on April 11. Jerrica Beth is her name. She it really good and such a blessing! The boys love her.
Congrats! . . . Actually Krista told me the other day! It is sweet to have a daughter!!!!!!!!!! God made a special place in a mother's heart for them.
