There's an old saying that says; "If you don't know where you're going, how are you going to know when you get there?" Today as we think a little bit more on our Sunday Sermon: Boundaries & Children, let's consider the future. One of the most important things you need to know about a Road Trip, is where the road your on is going to take you. Have you stopped to look down the road of your life, your home, your children's lives. Every decision we make has consequences. The boundaries you establish today, will determine where you and often those you love, end up tomorrow. Take a long look down the road... where will the boundaries you have or don't have end up? As our children develop into adults they often do in excess what we practiced in moderation. So, get out a sheet of paper, journal, or whatever and write down some of the possible consequences of The Road to Boundaries you're currently on!!!
What boundaries need to change? What boundaries need to be added? What roads look really good? As you consider the past, present, and future you can more confidently establish good, clear, and effective boundaries for your children. Tomorrow, we will discuss age appropriate boundaries. And then on Friday, Boundaries and Adult Children. Remember, there are no perfect parents. So, hang in there and pray a lot!
Blessings,
Pastor Mike
