Joe Knapp Posted August 23 Posted August 23 One of my favorite quotes by DR Dobson, "If your child is looking for a fight, don't disappoint him". More "What is the biggest obstacle facing the family right now? It is over-commitment; time pressure. There is nothing that will destroy family life more insidiously than hectic schedules and busy lives, where spouses are too exhausted to communicate, too worn out to have sex, too fatigued to talk to the kids. That frantic lifestyle is just as destructive as one involving outbroken sin. If Satan can't make you sin, he'll make you busy, and that's just about the same thing." ~ James Dobson "One of the most important responsibilities in the Christian life is to care about others, smile at them, and be a friend to the friendless." ~ James Dobson "My legacy doesn't matter. It isn't important that I be remembered. It's important that when I stand before the Lord, he says, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' I want to finish strong." ~ James Dobson "A child identifies his parents with God, whether or not the adults want that role. Most children 'see' God the way they perceive their earthly fathers." ~ James Dobson "Can't you see the Creator of the universe, who understands every secret, every mystery, sitting patiently and listening to a four-year-old talk to Him? That's a beautiful image of a father." ~ James Dobson "Children represent God's most generous gift to us." ~ James Dobson "By learning to yield to the loving authority of his parents, a child learns to submit to other forms of authority which will confront him later in his life — his teachers, school principal, police, neighbors and employers." ~ James Dobson "A boy or girl who knows that love abounds at home will not resent well-deserved punishment. One who is unloved or ignored will hate any form of discipline." ~ James Dobson "When these parenting years have passed, something precious will have flickered and gone out of my life. Thus, I am resolved to enjoy every day that remains in this fathering era." ~ James Dobson phkrause 1 Quote
