While words spoken are impacting, when they are written down, they have a way of outliving the moment, thereby playing their part in the future.
My wife and I have three sons, and it is our goal is to be faithful stewards by God’s grace in their lives. Therefore, this may well help play this part!
I know my parenting can have the fraughtful propensity of missing the moment, or even messing the moment, therefore, I am beginning, with my eldest, to write letters periodically, where, not only will my words outlive me, but they can be a testament, a memorial, even a legacy that my sons can reflect on into the future!
I encourage the reader, as their children grow, even if they have grown to the point of not listening to your spoken words, try writing it down, it may help you to say what’s really going on inside your inner person, and may be the context where they really take hold of what you are saying!
To further help us all be the parents God seeks, I am Jonny King will use this page as an ever-growing repository of resources that will help parents glorify God in their pursuit of righteous parenting!
