James 4:1 asks “What causes quarrels and fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?
The heart is deceitful above all things yet our emotions are also gifts from God. As parents, we have the opportunity and responsibility to shepherd our children's hearts and overflowing emotions. Mel provides wisdom and insight regarding submitting her own passions and emotions to Christ as she helped her children to the same. It's insight you'll want to hear as we seek to raise our kids with eternity (and adulthood) in mind.
