Heart Strings

The thing on my mind this morning is heart strings.  I was reading an entry in someone else's blog and I came across the topic of tying heart strings.  I guess I'm not sure exactly what this means but I am curious to know, so if anyone can explain it, I'd really appreciate it!

Discipline

I thoroughly want to teach my children self-discipline.  I believe that to teach self-discipline, you must first teach discipline.  Correct me if I am wrong.  What I am currently wondering is the best way to teach discipline.  I believe that for right now with my children, the main focus of discipline is to obey on the first request and to do so with a good attitude.  I think we need to sit down and come up with a few major house rules and start implementing them though.  I mean, we have rules, but they can be somewhat flexible, and I don't think that flexible rules are good for character training, or for teaching discipline.  I will probably work on our house rules (with my husband, of course) later today and post them here tomorrow morning.

Bible Passage of the Day:

"Rejoice in the Lord always.  I will say it again: Rejoice!  Let you gentleness be evident to all.  The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition; with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

"Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -  if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.  Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put it into practice.  And the God of peace will be with you."

Philippians 4:4 - 4:9
