The Gift of Self-Control
SHARE THIS POST WITH OTHERS
Tibet, China
As the torch enters China’s borders through Tibet, countries around the world are finalizing their Summer Olympic teams. Athletes are exercising tremendous amounts of self-control as they equip themselves for competition through a strict diet, exercise regimen and mental preparation.
For prime examples of self-control, the athletes need look no further than Tibet whose culture is deeply rooted in the belief that self-control is a means to true happiness. They embody the teaching of 2 Timothy 1:7:
“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.”
When you model self-control for your grandchildren, you teach them about God’s powerful influence in your life. When you promote these characteristics outside your family, you provide a foundation for other grandparents to influence their families.
Show God’s spirit of power and love through a donation in support of CGN’s equipping tools including the Legacy Conference, the Voice of Experience e-newsletter, GrandCamps, CGN Prayer ministry, and consulting to churches to help restore the unique role of Christian grandparenting.
