A few months ago, I started using a Biblically-based method of discipline.  The gist is to reach the heart of the child, to teach them right from wrong, to be obedient to their parents so that in the future they will have an easier time being obedient to God. 

We are reaping the rewards from this new time-consuming method!  To God to be the glory!

Yesterday we went through the basement, the living room and their bedrooms to look for toys to give away.  I was overwhelmed at their generosity.  They really get it!  Noah says to me, “Some kids don’t have any toys or money.  We have enough”  Teachable moment for sure. 

This morning we dropped off 2 huge boxes of toys and 2 motorcycle ride-ons at the fire station.  The boys were rewarded for their generosity.  Two of the firemen gave them a tour of the fire engine and let them sit in the front.  My boys just beamed, and so did my heart.
