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

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

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

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

Hi everyone, it's Sally and Claytime. This is part two of a heartfelt discipline and I hope

you're enjoying our talk so far. We talked about yesterday about how we came to realize that the

foundation of the positive influence in the heart of our children by using the model of Christ was

relational. That Christ said greater love has no one than this than a man lay down his life for

his friend and that the way that he really implemented his influence and the lives of its disciples,

he walked with him. He was doing the Diderotomy thing morning, noon and night. He fed them. He

stayed in their homes. He taught and instructed them. And the last supper is such a beautiful picture

of washing their feet and affirming them. Peter, you're the rock, Thomas, you're a man in him,

there's no guile. So we really came to the point of realizing that this parenting thing was really

long term but that there is no quick formula because it's going to take a lifetime. You know, I was

thinking, thank goodness, I was thinking about this thing called first time obedience and someone

said if you don't teach them to obey the first time, obviously our goal is to help our children to

want to obey us as quickly as possible. But sometimes instead of being disciplined, children need to

be put to bed because they've stayed up too long or they've missed their nap or they've had a

whole afternoon of overstimulation with children or sugar or whatever. And I started thinking

God doesn't confront me with every single sin that I have at once. He kind of convicts me that I

was selfish in this way and then I'll read a verse and I'll think about it and I'll pray about it

and then I'll grow and then maybe I will down the line I'll be convicted of another part of my sin.
