Did You Choose Godparents for Your Baby? - Blog Entry09 Apr 2008 08:51 PM Our daughter's godparents, (she has three - two godmothers and a godfather,) none of which belonged to the church my husband and I went to at the time. They were however stong, Bible believing Christians albeit of a different denomination. Our minister did not have a problem with that. I had been actively involved with both women in bible study groups and one was my prayer partner. They have remained active in our daughter's life and if anything had happened to us my daughter would have been cared for by the coouple as though she was their own. Are You Breeding a Frankenkinder? - Blog Entry09 Apr 2008 08:36 PM Couldn't agree more. Parents need to learn to say 'No'. I have written about this a few times. http://christian.families.com/blog/laziness-part-2-in-parenting http://christian.families.com/blog/are-you-prepared-to-say-no http://christian.families.com/blog/parenting-and-the-word-no Is it Time to Make Friends? - Blog Entry04 Apr 2008 07:37 PM There's nothing wrong with you. Sometimes I think people think you're capable and handling eveything so well you don't need anyone when the reality is quite different. It's natural to look for friendship and hard to understand when it doesn't happen. Believe me I know. Like you I was very involved in a previous church and bible study group, yet never felt we had friends there. Lots of acquaintances but not real friends. It's hard to be in that position. Thankfully God never leaves us. He is our closest friend. And you have us here at families.com too. How Strongly Do You Feel Against Divorce? - Blog Entry04 Apr 2008 07:23 PM I believe the marriage vows are sacred and couldn't imagine getting divorced. But then I love my husband and know he loves me. When it comes t an abusive situation or adultery I can see how that is different but for those of us who have never been involved in such situations it's a little hard to comment. I do have friends who have come from those situations and who have divorced and love them and feel a great sadness that they have suffered so. 3 Parenting Mistakes to Avoid with Your Toddler - Blog Entry01 Apr 2008 08:09 PM I agree parents need to be consistent. One of my two children was a screamer at two and thereabouts, which made life interesting to say the least. But the rules didn't change from day to day and we dealt with it. Now they are both married adults and I see that the consistent parenting as well as lots of love was worth the while. I've dealt with some of this in http://christian.families.com/blog/laziness-part-2-in-parenting Big Changes in a Little Marriage - Blog Entry01 Apr 2008 07:58 PM Hi Courtney, Just want to let you know you'll be in my thoughts and prayers.My Mom came to live with us when she had cancer. She had also been an independent woman using to looking after herself. And even though it was hard at times, it worked okay. It helped that Mom and I were close and she looked on my husband as her son. I could never have imagined making any other choice. We were also blessed in having a couple of friends who took time to get to know my Mom and appreciate her and then offered to stay with her occasionally so my husband and I could spend some time alone together. I'll be thinking of you How to Make a Friend - Blog Entry31 Mar 2008 11:07 PM I do believe it is what God wants for us. However, you make good points about the difficulty of opening up to others especially when 'secrets' come back to us from another person. We need to ensure that things raised in bible study and prayer groups remain confidential. Have a look at my latest blog http://christian.families.com/blog/how-gods-word-convicts to see how God dealt with me on this.
