Rejuvenate

Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest.

Matthew 11:28 -29 The Message

R&R

Pastor’s Note

Community News

Get Fit This Summer!** **

RestMost of us feel utterly ransacked. We are burdened by endless demands and busy routines. Even our vacations have a business, task-like edge to them. We are a people who have lost the value and importance of rest.

The truth is we all need to rest. Rest is a gift that will bring rejuvenation, sanity and wholeness to our being. Even God rested, and thereby established a principle many have overlooked. The gift of Sabbath, or rest, is essential in our spiritual growth and is meant to enrich our relationships with family and friends. Rest will increase our fruitfulness, make joy complete and restore the withered places.

I truly hope this summer you will find a season of rest and be rejuvenated.

Some<mes  children  learn  to  go  through  the  mo<ons  to  just  get  through  a  discipline  experience.  They'll  parrot  the  answers  that  they  know  you  want  to  hear.  You  know  that  helping  them  change  their  hearts  is  the  right  thing  to  do,  but  you  don't  seem  to  be  geNng  anywhere.  What  do  you  do?"The  answer  must  be  bigger  consequences."  That  tends  to  be  what  parents  think  of  first,  but  the  solu<on  is  usually  more  complicated.  The  key  may  be  adding  posi<ve  consequences  that  help  children  prac<ce  a  heart  change.One  mom  said,  "My  twelve-­‐year-­‐old  son  was  struggling  with  meanness.  I  had  tried  taking  away  privileges  but  that  didn't  seem  to  work.  I  decided  to  try  something  different.  I  told  him  each  day  to  find  three  kind  things  he  could  do  for  his  brother.  He  would  have  to  report  to  me  before  he  was  free  to  go  out  and  play.  By  focusing  on  the  posi<ve  we  began  seeing  some  significant  change."This  is  a  good  idea  but  some<mes  change  is  slow  or  doesn't  seem  to  be  there  at  all.  In  these  cases,  parents  must  take  a  two-­‐pronged  approach.  

First,  set  up  a  good  rou<ne  and  enforce  it  consistently.  It's  like  a  Jello  mold.  You're  establishing  boundaries  for  children  and  requiring  right  responses  even  though  they  don't  seem  to  be  able  to  assimilate  change  on  a  deeper  level.  Then  pray.  A\er  all,  God  is  the  one  who  can  change  a  heart.  Pray  that  your  children  will  respond  to  the  discipline  and  guidelines  you  set  up.  Tell  your  children  that  you're  praying  for  them.  Don't  give  up  and  just  let  them  go.  Con<nue  to  set  the  paaerns  and  rou<nes  to  be  that  container  that  they  need  to  act  rightly.  Pray  that  God  will  breathe  life  into  the  container  so  that  children  aren't  just  ac<ng  right,  but  their  hearts  are  in  it  too.

Look  for  small  opportuni<es  for  dialogue,  modeling,  and  correc<on  that  God  might  use  to  help  them  change.  Find  posi<ve  influences  for  your  child.  It's  amazing  how  many  <mes  a  youth  leader  at  church  can  say  the  very  same  thing  that  you  are  saying  at  home  but  your  kids  will  receive  it  beaer  from  someone  else.  Hang  in  there.  The  job  of  paren<ng  requires  a  lot  of  faith  and  work.  Both  are  necessary  to  help  children  make  changes  that  will  last.

This  &p  comes  from  the  book,  Paren&ng  is  Heart  Work,  by  Dr.  Sco<  Turansky  and  Joanne  Miller,  RN,  BSN.
