Also thankful for the reminder that one day I will be inconvenienced by my parents, and that is a necessary part of honoring them and developing my character. And maybe I'll get a few extra years out of it. Thanks DJ once again!

parenting 101
This sermon had me reflecting a lot on how much of an inconvenience I have been for my parents and also how inconvenienced I will be in the future as a parent. I can't help but be terrified for my future children and the generation that they will live in as well as the world around them. And on top of their surroundings, the most influential place they will be in is in their own home with their parents (aka me and future man). The only way I know best to prepare myself for such an inconvenience and battle between heaven and earth is to pray to God that he would equip me with the wisdom knowledge discernment sand understanding to parent in a way that is honorable. To listen to my children and respect them as unique individuals while also always presenting the gospel to them, so that they will never doubt or question what their parents believe.

Hi Maddie - After I posted my "Crap Storm" post I read your post. I feel like my post can be seen as a polaroid snap shot of the battle you describe. For better or for worse I think we both this past week felt the tension of honoring God and His gospel as a modern family. Thanks for sharing these words. Your words helped me sort out my thoughts and impressions from the sermon.
