(January 15, 2014)
There is a distinctive phrase where the Gods watched the things that they had ordered until they were obeyed. I wonder, as a parent, whether I am not following this example very well. I tend to be a “fire and forget” parent when it comes to delegation of responsibility – I give instruction, and the next time I follow up on it is to see it done or be upset that it isn’t done. I think that might not be the proper way to go about things, however. I guess I should better follow this example – when something is important enough to instruct one of my children to do it, it is also important enough for me to watch to see it obeyed.
