Parenthood: 30 Things My Parents Did that Made All the Difference (Part 1)
But, these friends’ choices during their supposed years of ‘freedom’ led to consequences that resulted in the exact opposite of what ‘freedom’ truly is. Perhaps most importantly, I never doubted that whenever my parents disciplined me that it was out of love and a desire to help, teach, or protect – and never simply out of anger. 11) Mom & Dad Were Equal: Of course my parents had different roles and responsibilities within our family and around the house, as every mother and father does. However, one thing was always certain – they were equal partners. In no way was my father domineering, condescending, or treated as the superior in any way. He was the man of the house and certainly fulfilled his role; but right by his side (not behind him) was my mother who was thought of, spoken to, involved in, and treated like an equal. 12) Cleanliness Was Demanded: My siblings and I still tease our mother for engraining into our minds an attribute we got so frustrated with growing up, but are ever so grateful for now.She demanded cleanliness … in every aspect of our lives! We always had to have a clean room, house, yard, car, appearance, and most importantly – thoughts! 13) Certain Attributes Were Taught, Exemplified, and Expected: Thankfully my parents did not just ‘talk the talk’ – they literally lived what they taught and expected. A few of the many attributes my parents both taught and helped us develop were: integrity, honesty, unselfishness, hard work, modesty and virtue, tolerance, respect, discipline, patience, persistence, assertiveness, independence, responsibility, prayerfulness, obedience, friendliness and kindness.Pages: 1 2 3 4 [5] 6

Discover your History with Past Life RegressionBahama shutters, also known as bermuda shutters, have been used in the hot, wet climates of the southeastern United States and tropical regions for a long time. They are especially popular in coastal areas prone to sudden gusty rainstorms and hurricanes because of the extra protection of windows from flying debris. They are easily and quickly dropped when needed. In these days of outsourcing so many of our consumer goods to other countries, it is refreshing to find a company that is manufacturing products in the USA and using American raw materials to do it. Window shutters from Sunbelt Shutters are made right here and use wood from managed forests of California redwood, Southern yellow pine, and Western red cedar. |
