Discipline of Kids' Stuff

Hello Ladies! I hope you all had a wonderful week. Here are a few notes from Cynthia Moses' talk last Wednesday about our kids' stuff....

Teach your children that helping is fun, and that helping is part of growing up. More things don't necessarily mean more fun. Cynthia suggests that you utilize their age as a guideline for how many toys should be in their room. If your child is two years old, he/she should be able to clean up toys for two minutes. She also suggests that we organize our homes in zones, and urges de-cluttering, and "eBaying" our old toys. Keep our "things" to a minimum, and always remember that Jesus should be our focus.

Here is the homework for tomorrow, in case you were gone last week.

Many thanks to Becca for taking notes while I was absent last week! As always, the Leadership Team is here for prayer and support at any time!

Blessings,

Katie

Discipline of Expectations

What a great way to kick off the winter session of M2M!

Our very own Tiffany Holcomb spoke to us about Discipline of Expectations. Do we expect our husbands and children to be perfect? To be something they're not? Are the expectations that you set for yourself unrealistic? All to often, we show up at church with our "mask" on. We hide what we're going through, how we're feeling, and we expect that everyone else has it together. The truth is that no one has it all together. We don't get to know Jesus when everything is perfect, but in our mistakes. Tiffany used the story of Mary and Martha as an example. Mary was content to sit and Jesus' feet, to learn from Him, and to love Him. Martha was busy in the kitchen, working, cooking, and expecting Mary to be doing the same. What a shock it must have been to Martha when she learned that Jesus didn't expect her to be the perfect hostess, that all He wanted was for her to join Mary, and sit at His feet.

I hope that this week, you'll be able to sit at the feet of Jesus, and let go of your expectations. Love your God, husband, children and friends for who they are. If you want to dig deeper, read through Psalm 107. As always, the Leadership Team is here for all of you!

Blessings,

Katie
