What does abundance mean to you? According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the definition of abundance is having an ample quantity of something.

Let’s open our thinking to all areas of our life in regard to what we have an “ample quantity of.” Are our food and shelter needs being met and maybe, then, some? Do loving people in our life surround us? Are we experiencing joy and contentment? Do we desire to understand better what inspires and fulfills us or do we already know?

What do you have an abundance of?

Steven Vannoy, the author of “The 10 Greatest Gifts I Gave My Children,” begins this chapter on the Gift of Abundance with three quotes from children about what abundance means to them. Here’s how these three children defined abundance in their life.

It’s hard to believe this blog completes our conversation on Steven Vannoy’s book, “The 10 Greatest Gifts I Gave My Children”.  I hope you’ve gathered some useful information along the way from this book study. As always, our job is to share with you information from reliable resources and let you take things from there.

 

 

 I was with a group of women the other day and we were sharing stories about parenthood. Some of the topics that seemed to be the concern and difficulty for us as busy parents is the act of positive discipline within the household with our children. So let’s talk about it! 

There are five essential and effective forms of positive discipline. This can be used in any environment with any and all children. Home, school, practice, clubs, at grandparents houses or even when your children have friends over. The five forms of positive discipline include redirection, positive reinforcement, time-in(carving out quality moments with your children), single word reminders, and selective ignoring of objectionable behavior. Over the next couple months, I would like to talk about one form at a time. This week let’s talk about redirection.
