The Parent You Want To Be
In this morning’s sermon, Craig quoted 10 traits to consider as a parent from the book The Parent You Want To Be by Les & Leslie Parrott. Here they are, along with Craig’s encouragement to us: pick out one or two you are doing well on, and thank God for those. Then pick out one that you could improve on, that would make your home a better place. Ask for God’s help there.
