Summary

I have realized over the years that the most important element to a Christian parent, in regards to discipline, is not the method, but the heart attitude towards God as a Father of us. When we become our children's advocates, always for them, defending them, protecting them, we are helping them grow as we extend the mercy, kindness, and teachings of God.

Hi everyone, welcome to Add Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest

0:13.0

privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every

0:18.6

week to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement. And I am just so glad

0:24.6

that you're here today. Thanks so much for joining me.

Hello my friends, it's Sally Clarkson. Thanks for joining me today. I'm sitting in my

little room. I always feel like the reason I tell you where I'm sitting, what I'm doing

0:47.5

is because it makes me feel like we're friends and that you're right here in the room with

about being my age because when no children in the house, and this is the first time in

1:20.6

two months that no children have been with me, only clay. My very big child is with me.
