There have been different actions that have sprung up in our home this past week that have left me confused on what exactly the heart issue was behind the behavior and how I should best shepherd their hearts. Above all, I know we sin because we are not loving Christ more than anything else... not treasuring Him above all things and we talk about that often in our home.
