plus, some honest encouragement for moms [image](=) Hi, Friend! Todayâs guest on The Crystal Paine Show is someone who has been on the show before and you all loved that episode. So when the opportunity came up to have her back on the show one more time, I jumped on it, especially when I saw the title of her new book, Good Boundaries and Goodbyes: Loving Others Without Losing the Best of Who You Are! In this episode, Lysa TerKeurst discusses where she gets her ideas for her books, primarily her struggles and what they show her she needs to improve and work on. She also elaborates on what the word boundaries means to her and how she has learned what boundaries are from the Bible, the difference between being selfish and demonstrating self-control, and how boundaries help prevent unpleasant extremes and what to do if those extremes take place anyway. This is an incredibly valuable conversation and I came away from it so personally challenged and inspired. LISTEN IN HERE: [image]() Mamas, if thereâs one thing I can encourage you with, itâs this: stop trying to fix your kids and start loving them and walking with them right where they are. I get it. We want to raise kids of character who love Jesus and go out in the world and make a difference. But the biggest way to build a wedge in your relationship is to project all your expectations on them and constantly point out what they are doing wrong. There is a time and place for correction, but let it be built on a solid foundation of connection.Think about it, if someone in your life is just constantly nit-picking everything you do and telling you where you were falling short, would you want to hang around that person and spend time with them? Probably not. In fact, thereâs a good chance you might go out of your way to *avoid* them â lest you be reminded, yet again, of everything you are doing wrong and how you donât measure up to their standards and are disappointing them. Every day â through our words and expressions and attitude â we have an opportunity to build a little bit more of a bridge or burn a little bit more of a bridge. Itâs our choice. Letâs choose to ask the Holy Spirit to flood us with love and kindness for our kids. Letâs catch them doing things right and call it out. Letâs praise 10 times more than we correct. Letâs talk well of them to others. Letâs enjoy our kids and have fun with them. Letâs lean in and love. Letâs ask curious questions instead of jumping to conclusions or criticism. Letâs lay down our pride over our reputation and our fear over the future, and letâs just focus on lavishly loving these gifts that God has entrusted to us â as He has so loved us! I hope you are having a wonderful week! -Crystal [Privacy Policy]() [Unsubscribe]( Money Saving Mom, LLC 2020 Fieldstone Parkway, Ste. 900 #313 Franklin, Tennessee 37069 United States
