Encourage faithfulness: Sometimes it's so easy to focus on what our children aren't doing right that we forget to acknowledge the many things they do right every day. Capitalize on the moments when they are faithful to do what they are suppose to do without being reminded: make a bed, put clothes in the hamper, brush their teeth, close the lid on the toilet(!)... And thank them for being faithful to do the task.

Finding Faithfulness: Look for evidence of God's faithfulness this week. When you see it, point it out to your children. Stop right then and there and thank God for His faithfulness!
