#682: Grit and Determination

In today’s society, we expect immediate results. When we try something new, we want instant success. But life doesn’t always work that way. Sometimes life is hard and tough. Sometimes failure crashes over us like an avalanche. During these times, it’s easy to grow discouraged. Maybe even angry.But if you are wise, you’ll use times of fatigue, frustration, and failure to teach your son important lessons about grit and determination. And guess what? The more your son sees you rely on God as you work through trials and challenges, the more he’ll understand that God provides the strength to continue on. It’s great when failures transform into Immediate successes. But it’s even better when your son grows spiritually by seeing your faith in action over time.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
