When It's Hard to Forgive
As Christians, we can excuse the unforgivable in others because God has excused the unforgivable in us.

Do you have a situation where forgiveness seems impossible?
Perhaps you’re thinking, “I just can’t forgive this person for what he/ she has done to me.
It’s too painful to deal with. He/ she’s done it too many times. He/ she’s hurt me too deeply”.

Parenting with Gratitude
I can give thanks even when my children are whining ... or I am.
Parenting from a foundation of gratitude makes a difference not only in the way we react to our children but also in the way we approach daily life. When we are in state of gratitude, we are able to parent our children with holiness, mercy, and grace. You do not have to be a controlling parent. Please note that I'm not promoting a chaotic home. Rules and order are vitally important. But if our lack of gratitude causes us to be overly controlling, we'll parent our children in a way that invites rebellion.
Here is what a gratitude-based parent looks like:
Dad gives thanks in and for everything
Mom knows that belonging to Jesus is enough
Dad rests in and trusts in God's power and goodness
Mom is aware of God's grace moment by moment
Dad knows that God's nearness equals his good

As pioneer parents, we would do well to sing through our days, lifting both our dirges and our declarations of praise to the Father, who sings over us and enables us to parent with joy, kindness, appreciation, thankfulness, and gratefulness!
