Endurance

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

The world is so much bigger than our homes, yet, in our homes, there may be obstacles, difficulties, trials and tribulations for us as well as for our children.  Since endurance leads to growth in hope and character, as adults we need to model this value in our environment for our children to emulate.

We have many or maybe too many testimonies of moments when we did not endure unpleasant moments and or difficult circumstances got the better of us.  It begs us to sympathise with each other since we might not have learnt how to persevere.  With that said, we want our children to develop the tenacity to outlast challenges.

We could begin by teaching our children to memorise Philippians 4:13.  Today is a good day to read the affirmation on page 29 in  Affirmation for Values and Character Development by Tanisha Graham with your children.

See you tomorrow.
