Disciplines

So we’re chatting with some parents and they tell us their kids have a different schedule during the summer.  Their morning starts out with 30 minutes of bible reading, 30 minutes of prayer and then household chores.  They must spend 30 minutes a day practicing their musical instrument.  If they want to watch T.V. or play a video game (that the parents have approved) they must run or swim a mile for each hour of game time.  This is brilliant!  It not only teaches discipline, brings health, causes the child to have an understanding of scripture but postures them for success in life.  It's said that it takes 21 days to form a habit.  What would 10 to 12 years do?  They will keep these practices throughout their entire life.  This will also aid in ushering in the promises of God.  God honors obedience and readers and doers of the word.  Lord bless these parents abundantly!
