Emotional Restraint

Welcome to another look into the life and message of Elizabeth Allianne,

who called us to live to a higher standard every day.

Not satisfied with just throwing a little religion into life.

As the series continues in the coming weeks, we'll hear from family friends and others,

all influenced by Elizabeth's life and message.

Today, we continue our series with Valerie Elliott-Shepard, Elizabeth's daughter,

and the series is called Child Training.

It's a ten-part series, and today we have part seven and eight,

feeling sorry for yourself and training emotional restraint.

Also coming up, Elizabeth's younger brother Jim Howard talks about the laugh of Elizabeth Allianne,

and Amy Van Dyke of the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC talks about the Elizabeth Allianne exhibit,

and her life as a scrapbook.

First, though, turn to Isaiah 30 as you prepare for part seven of Child Training.

Here's Valerie Elliott-Shepard and Elizabeth.

Feeling sorry for yourself.

You are loved with an everlasting love.

That's what the Bible says, and underneath are the everlasting arms.

This is your friend, Elizabeth Elliott, talking today with my daughter, Valerie Shepard,

on the subject of self-pity.

I'm so glad, Val, that you've decided to talk about this.

I've talked about it quite a few times, I guess, myself.
