I ran in to this today as I was reading my Bible: "For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it." Hebrews 12:11 The whole chapter is on discipline if any one is interested.
The same verse in The Message Bible (A version of the Bible written in every-day language) says, "At the time, discipline isn't much fun. It always feels like it's going against the grain. Later, of course, it pays off handsomely, for it's the well trained who find themselves mature in their relationship with God." Hmmm... Good stuff.
Off to my day of getting things done around the house! Post #8, DONE!
