On Training up a Child...

[misfit]

Thank you all for your advice and encouragement. I've been thinking about each post as they appear, already had written out a reply twice. Took me a long time, and I wanted to attach a picture so you all could see the little guys and girl we were talking about. Both times, when I thought I was attaching the image, everything went away. I gave up, but again, I am grateful for all the thought, effort and insight that went into each post.

You sir, are a blessed man.

You are absolutely right!!! These guys are like air to me. No wonder I want to be a good Daddy, huh? Thank you Supercoach.

God has Blessed you so well. Just remember what you do for them today is going to be a reward or a bad judgement tomorow. You and wife should share a family pic sometime and see them beam in your smiles. God Bless.

What beautiful children. I bet they are a handful. I am sure you will do a fine job raising them.

I see a future Bama cheerleader, quarterback, wide receiver and linebacker in that picture.

She is already falling into the role of the quarterback.

If she has a good arm maybe she can pitch for the softball team.

Adorable children, misfit. And well parented it seems, since three of four have Bama attire on.

misfit, having raised two boys, I can tell you that your kids are an absolute sponge at this age. Not just for what you say - how you conduct yourself. I am far from perfect, but I can give you a little advice. First of all let them see that you love their mama. They need to see a strong husband/wife relationship. Second, but more importantly, let them see you love the Lord. There should be no question of how you handle situations in your life - let them see a Godly man in every aspect of your life. Thirdly, don't just take them to church - get the whole family to a church that teaches God's Word and has a loving environment. Finally, read Biblically based books to them. I agree with one of the other posters - Veggie Tales rocks!

Thanks Carl, great advice...you and coach both mentioned veggietales....song stuck in my head now..."if it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey, if it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey it's an ape."  amazing all the kids songs I've learned, tough sometimes not to sing them at work where it's all big people..."got a wiggle in my toe, oh Barney don't you know, I'd love to stop the wiggle, cause it makes me want to giggle..."
Seriously though, I do need and appreciate all the insight...from everyone. Especially about treating their mother the way God intends for me to.
