We have a new puppy at home. He's been with us for a week now, and we are trying to teach him the important lesson of place and time. Let me explain: There is a place for our puppy to go "potty", and it is NOT inside the house. There is a time to go "potty" too, and it is in the designated area we have set apart for that purpose in the yard. By continually using the word "potty" every time he goes to the bathroom, we have trained him to basically go outside in the part of the lawn we use the least. He has started to go sit at the door when he has to go find the right place and time to relieve himself. In a week, he has learned this order to his world at the Petzold home. Have you considered lately the order God put into His world in the seven days of creation? Coincidentally, I have had three totally separate conversations in the past week about creation. At the time of creation, God put so many things in their proper "place and time." It is remarkable that we continue to "discover" what He put here so long ago. Review the creation account from the very beginning of the Bible (Genesis Chapter 1). You'll find it full of references to both "place and time." Enjoy!
Family Discussion Points!
Read Genesis Chapter 1 as a family - actually into Chapter 2 as well.
Was a day 24 hours or longer in Genesis Chapter 1 as some people believe? Look at vs. 5 for the answer.
What are other things that have an appropriate "place and time" in your family.
