Initiative: 1) an introductory act or step; leading action, 2) seeing what needs to be done, and doing it.
Claire,
You showed incredible initiative this weekend! You helped clear the table, put away the clean dishes, fold the laundry, and clean your room. Mommy and I were very impressed that we didn't have to ask you to do these things.
It's moments like these that we as parents take solace in...that all the hard work is paying off. But, to be honest, we have very little to do with how you act. We could be the best parents in the world and still have our kids make poor choices. Consider Adam and Eve: God was their Daddy, and they had a perfect relationship in the Garden of Eden. But even with God's perfect parenting, Adam and Eve chose to sin over what they knew was right.
So I want you and Grace and James to know that no matter what choices you make in life, Mommy and Daddy will always love you. We don't expect you to be perfect, and neither does God.
Much love,
Daddy
