First time mom here, I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant. This video is really helpful, thank you 😊

This message really hit home because parenting with faith can feel heavy sometimes, especially when you’re trying to set the right example while juggling responsibilities. What comforts me is knowing that we don’t have to create grand spiritual experiences—God honors the small, faithful moments we offer Him. One thing that helped us stay consistent is reading the bbook 1-Minute Family Devotions by Simonette Vincent. The reflections are short but surprisingly deep, and they’ve helped our family keep God in the center even on days when we feel tired or overwhelmed. It’s been such a simple tool, yet it’s changed the atmosphere in our home so much.

Hello brothers and sisters. I would just like to recommend that everyone read the book ‘Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children For a Godly Life’. Reading that book was the decision I ever made.

I’ve often second guessed myself over the years thinking maybe I was too harsh etc. and I’m sure at times we were. But when I hear my 9 year old tell me about some of his classmates and say “they were so disrespectful Mom. They need to understand the teacher is in charge. Not them”. Oh! I was so happy. He gets it! 🙌

I'm in the middle of the video right now, praying she is going to talk about teenagers.

Our society now enables a lot of destructive behavior in young people that was not acceptable just 1 generation ago.  It's good how she said the balance needs to go back toward the parents.  They are the rule makers and God's representatives to the children.

“Remember this: There are some terrible times coming in the last days. People will love only themselves and money. They will be proud and boast about themselves. They will abuse others with insults. They will not obey their parents. They will be ungrateful and against all that is pleasing to God.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭3:1-2‬ ‭ERV‬‬

My 5 year old granddaughter was acting spoiled and selfish as most kids will do at times. My daughter took action and told the young one that she would not receive any personal gifts for her upcoming birthday. Instead, she could pick a worthwhile cause that friends and family members could contribute to instead, if they wished. She picked the recent plight of the koalas in Australia and with some help, set up a fund goal of $200. She is beyond excited to see her little fund grow to help her cause and I think it will creat a lasting impression on her, more than any toy could.

That's me right now.  I yelled at my kids last night and hate myself today.

Very important discussion right there! I grew up the hard way due to many factors in life but those moments helped me that I can nearly fix and do everything by myself, we learned to give parent their position as parents but today I worry so much for our little ones, they barely can think  or try do things by themselves, Parents are so busy now days looking for food on the table. So overall, time with our children is everything.

Love Arlene's personality and her speaking. Heard her on Family life (31 days Husband) Simply Great!

Thank you so much. May God bless all of you. Waiting for another video. Greetings from India.

16/07/2023. We have been having a tough time with our 17 & 15th year old teens. I genuinely I’m at wits end with them, white lies, phone issues, where it should be charged, to why us your phone in your pocket when you’re going to the bathroom, to oh you can’t tell me that, you are so weird mum, to you have no right to be in my bag. Boy has this shocked us. So this has been amazing to hear. Thank you so much. 🙏🏽
