Shepherding Your Child’s Heart

lmorris — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 16:50:56 +0000

We had a great turnout for the first meeting on March 31, 2012. Please join us for our next meeting.

What is “Shepherding Your Child’s Heart?” you ask.

Well, Beth and Per are opening their home to invite any parents who struggle with parenting to come and wrestle with their many questions together: sharing, struggling, commiserating, and throwing ourselves on God’s grace together as we face the toughest job in the world.

P.S. Childcare is not provided at the Almquist home for this time. If you cannot arrange childcare for your children, please talk to Linda for help.

The Most Common Problem

Ken — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 20:54:39 +0000

“When working with couples, what is the one problem you encounter most often?” That’s a question periodically posed to me in social settings, and it’s an easy question to answer.

With almost every couple I see, “thinking and speaking” on one another’s behalf nearly always arises. You know what that’s like, just when you’re ready to answer a question someone, usually your spouse, answers for you. Or, worse yet, someone tells you directly what “you think.” You know this is happening when someone begins saying to you, “You think…” How does that person know what you think if you haven’t told them? This behavior is not only disrespectful, but it’s a serious detriment to good communication in any relationship.

The Bible encourages us to prioritize listening while noting the dangers of our unbridled tongues. Yet, we are so bent on speaking we often miss out on hearing the beauty within the hearts of those we love.

It’s strangely simple, yet maddeningly difficult, this principle of listening first and speaking later. But if we learn to “die” to our own desire to be heard in order to serve others through listening, I guarantee relationships will improve and less time will be spent in counseling offices.
