Consistency Please

If you want a lesson in how important consistency is, have a baby. Having children has taught me more about the value of consistency than any other situation, relationship, or responsibility. It's tough. I don't know how you feel about discipline but Holly and I believe it is our God-given responsibility to lead our children through offering wisdom to them, making decisions for them while they are young, providing for them, loving them, and disciplining them. But it's tough. Sometimes it is just so easy to "let it go". Sometimes I want to. Especially if I just spanked one of them or they got in trouble. But right is right and I take my responsibility to father my three children with the utmost of seriousness. One of the greatest lessons I have learned is that when I am not consistent with my love and my discipline that it confuses my kids. They expect consistency...even if I'm wrong sometimes...they expect me to be consistent. I owe it to them...even if I'm tired and don't want to...I owe it to my kids to be consistent. And consistent I will do my best to be.
