“I think that God puts people in our lives as gifts to us. The children in your class this year, they are some of God’s gifts to you. So please treat each one like a gift from God. Every single one. Baby, if you see a child being left out, or hurt, or teased, part of your heart will hurt a little. Your daddy and I want you to trust that heartache. Your whole life, we want you to notice and trust your heartache. That heartache is called compassion, and it is God’s signal to you to do something. It is God saying, Chase! Wake up! One of my babies is hurting! Do something to help! Whenever you feel compassion, be thrilled! It means God is speaking to you, and that is magic. It means he trusts you and needs you.” LifeChildrenGodPainCompassionHeartacheDoing The Right ThingGlennon Doyle MeltonCarry On Warrior Book:Carry On, Warrior: Thoughts on Life Unarmed Source: Carry On, Warrior: Thoughts on Life Unarmed
“We begin to understand that to co-parent is to one day look up and notice that you are on a roller coaster with another human being. You are in the same car, strapped down side by side and you can never, ever get off. There will never be another moment in your lives when your hearts don't rise and fall together, when your stomach doesn't churn in tandem, when you stop seeing huge hills emerge in the distance and simultaneously grab the sides of the car and hold on tight. No one except for the one strapped down beside you will ever understand the particular thrills and terrors of your ride.” ChildrenParentingCoparenting Book:Love Warrior Source: Love Warrior
“For some kids, the classroom setting is the place where their genius is hardest to see and their challenges are easiest to see. And since they spend so much time in the classroom, that’s a tough break for these little guys. But if we are patient and calm and we wear our perspectacles and we keep believing, we will eventually see the specific magic of each child.” ChildrenTeachingPerspectiveGeniusParentingClassroomTalentsGlennon Doyle MeltonCarry On Warrior Book:Carry On, Warrior: Thoughts on Life Unarmed Source: Carry On, Warrior: Thoughts on Life Unarmed
