You're getting ready to have a hard discussion with one of your children. Here's some advice from one of our listeners.

We all want to be accepted in love by our children, but I used to tell this daughter all the time,

I said, if it comes down to being your friend and being your mom, I'm always going to be your mom,

and later we'll be friends.

It's Monday, June 19th, and this is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss.

Last week, Nancy was teaching us about modesty and children, how we can train our kids not only to follow the rules about what they wear, but how to teach them to have a modest

heart as well.

Some women have been listening along with us, and we're going to let them tell us what

they've experienced on the subject.

Here's Nancy to get us started.

I just like to hear from a spectrum here for a few minutes.

Just how is the Lord spoken?

Say your name, if you would, and want you to stand and put that mic just real close.

My name is Thelma Jackson.

I have two adult boys, and we have pretty much of an open relationship when it comes to talking.

And I appreciate you challenging us as women to ask the questions, because when we can ask the questions

and the Lord gives us the answer, then certainly we will respond and we will

really know and not be ignorant as to what really pleases the Lord. That was one test that I've used

in talking with my youngest son, who's 21. But I asked him some questions of the things that he's seen.

At first he was resistant, but he did give me the answers, and I thank the Lord for that,

and now he's telling me what he's seeing out there, and Mama, I have to hold my head down

because I get weak in my knees.
