Pastors Edge

As we continue our Extreme Home Makeover for families, we need to deal now with the framing of our home. The framing of a home deals with children. That is why we are calling our message, "Framing Values". I want to deal with the most strategic, critical years of a child's life, from the time that child is born until they reach adolescence. These are definitely the active years. This is a time when children are growing by leaps and bounds. You can see changes almost daily, both mentally and physically, taking place right before your eyes. Parents, without question, those will be the greatest years of impact you will be able to have in the life of you children.

"I believe the pain of childbirth is two-fold. There is certainly the pain of bringing the child into the world, but there is also the pain of bringing the child up in the world. Though I never had to bear a child myself, I am convinced that the later pain is greater than the former pain. The physical pain of bearing a child, though tremendous, usually only lasts a few hours, but the pain of rearing that same child can last a lifetime."

"I don't mind telling you that as I try to talk to you today about rearing children, I feel like the man who said, "Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children and no theories."

"My wife, Teresa and I made a fundamental decision early in our marriage before our first children were born that has paid off for us a million times over. this is something that i want to share with you about child training."
