Although I don’t mind saying, Fireproof is our all time favorite. We Wachters are huge fans of their films from Flywheel right on through to Courageous. The Kendrick brothers are at it again! Yeah for all of us who are striving to live every moment of this life intentionally for our creator. "The Love Dare for Parents" is a book that needs to be read by all parents, and then re-read multiple times in order to drive us to our knees and make us more dependent upon God’s grace to love our kids the way that God designed us too.
However, the preceding quote really convicted me that showing patience is not weakness at all, but is a much better attribute to default too rather than anger.
It’s not a blanket form of tolerance that lets everything go, but rather a wise surveyor of the situation, allowing proper steps to be taken." I think one of my struggles with showing too much patience with my son is that I think he will see it as weakness on my behalf and, instead of bringing him up "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord" I will be bringing him up as an unruly child that will embarrass both his mother and I because he thinks he can get away with things all the time. It whispers peace into situations brewing toward eruption. It beautifully diffuses conflict before trouble has a chance to escalate. It gives people more time to work through their issues. This quote really spoke to me: "Patience is always welcome. I have struggled with wrongly directed anger issues towards my young son for a while now (getting upset with him for even the slightest mistake), and Day 2 felt like it was written specifically for me. I wasn’t sure how God was going to use this book in my life, but after reading Days 2 and 3 (dealing with patience and kindness respectively), I can honestly say that it was Divine Providence that allowed me gain access to this book.
