"G.C."

Personal Progress Journal Entry Divine Nature #7 Value

Our family has been reconstructing the atmosphere within our home. We have established laws to help us, one being edification.  We have seen a distinct change in our relationships.  We no longer have drawings of our children with "Dork"  written across it.  We can have fun without making a slap in the face to our divinity.

The difficulty is when we’re angry and feeling that the person truly is a dork; thereby sharing that sentiment, quite loudly. It’s a peace crusher.

We established consequences for following this law. The people involved are to hold hands until calm has returned, recognize our fault, apologize and make restitution. Finally, we’re to commit to not doing it again. The good consequence is continued peace or kind words given in response. The children might even get a surprise for their efforts.

Thanks to a book I received titled, "Teaching Your Children Responsibility" by Linda and Richard Eyre, we’re using a trigger word to remind us of our goal.  The word is "G.C.", representing, General Contractor. We are the General Contractors to building edification in our home.
