I'm a nice person. There. I said it:-)
Now, now, don't get worked up and start accusing me of being arrogant or vain or whatever other word you can think of. I'm not claiming to take all the credit for this, I'm just acknowledging what I am convinced is a truth. Whenever someone comments on how sweet or nice I am I tend to think of my mom and the difficulties she had raising me up and I can't help but wonder, "how'd she do it?".
Because I have decided to folow Jesus and live a meaningful Christian life, I know that raising my children has to be soley Word-based so that sort of takes care of the "theoretical stuff". However, the fact that there are plently of people who were raised by practicing Christians and DIDN'T turn out "nice" is cause for concern? Where did they get it wrong?
These are just thoughts... since I am yet to raise a child, I do not have any practical experience but it's definately something I'd like to pick your brain on. What do you think determines how well your child turns out?
