Painting Pictures With Words–Romance & the Homestead
If you feel as if you are in God's pressure pot of responsibility, suffering, even in physical pain, know this: The bottom line in your pot is three things, and learning who and what you will have to deal with the most for the Lord to hit the pressure valve and begin to let off the pressure.
Now when I say discipline, I don’t mean beating your children half to death, which is abuse. I mean discipline in the form of adult leadership, adult guidance, adult supervision, and adult behavior. Yes, my parents and grandparents practiced what they preached. So I was raised in the pressure pot of responsibility. It was hard sometimes. Iron sharpens iron. My parents were iron, and they sharpened us, the tools in their "shed of life." As their parents did before them and theirs before them, and so on and so on.
