Parenting and Grandparenting as a grace process

Often, parents and grandparents are stuck in reactive modes of raising our children. We place great emphasis on events and believe that our instruction or discipline will change behavior. This is simply not true. The law can't change behavior, only God's grace can create the lasting transformation of the heart that we seek.

Raising godly children is a culmination of many mini moments of administering God's grace. When we view raising our children as a process, we can be proactive and function as God's ambassadors.
