PREACHING COMMUNITY IN SEASONS OF CHANGE
Children are sometimes the best teachers one can imagine having. At six, my son has figured out that behavior unbecoming of him has consequences. He has also figured out that behavior above and beyond the call of duty can have certain rewards. A bedroom cleaned extra well or dishes unexpectedly cleared from the table and washed can have a reward of sorts. The reward could be an extra half-hour of television beyond the allotted hour per day. It might be a walk with Dad to the ice cream parlor on the corner for a double dip cone.
