Are there days you want to resign as a parent? You wish you could throw in the towel and call it quits?
Most parents have fleeting thoughts of giving up. During these problematic moments, remember God’s encouragement in James. The one who perseveres under trial is blessed and will receive the crown of life.
Raising boys is a long endeavor. A marathon, not a race. And it sometimes requires thick skin. On the days when our boys run through the house and knock things over or leave their socks laying around for the umpteenth time, remember your goal isn’t to only change behavior, but to build character. And that takes perseverance and patience. So, go ahead and remind them one more time not to run. Smile and tell them to pick up their dirty clothes. You’re raising Godly boys.
