Growing

I have been reading a book by Dennis Rainey and David Boehi called The Best Gift You Can Ever Give Your Parents for about a week now. It is killing me! There are so many things that have touched home about my role in the relationship I have with both my parents, and Peter's parents. I always felt justified in decisions made, and the way I have been towards all of them until now. I now realize that I play just as significant a role in it all as they do. I realize that God commanded me to honor them. I am working through some things, but I am moving towards this new goal. Throughout the book Dennis and David speak about several main points. Giving compassion, granting forgiveness, and honoring. I find that I have severely lacked on all three of those things with all of my parents in the past and currently. It has been a very hard book to read, but I know that it is because I am growing in Christ. I love all of these people, but I have not honored any of them. So onto more growing pains... Paige is potty training. Oh the joys! lol. Really though she is doing great. After about a week of potty training she is going on her own accord every time she goes #1. Unfortunately she has a need to watch the process so she pulls her belly up and in that aims it out off of the potty! She is going though and that is what really counts. She is not at all about going #2 on the potty though! She has had an accident with that every day. Hopefully she will realize soon that going #2 in your pants is nasty.
