Fighting the good fight

This phrase has become my mantra lately...

Fight the good fight is actually from Timothy 6:12 and refers to spreading Christianity... In our house it refers to ensuring
  1. Teeth are brushed
  2. books are not torn
  3. Saying ta
  4. Asking for what we want rather than whining
  5. Toys are packed away
  6. Food is not spat, thrown or smeared
  7. nappies are changed without smearing waste products all over the walls
  8. We don't smack friends, mommy, daddy or random strangers
  9. We are gentle with animals
  10. And on and on and on
and it feels like I say the same things, do the same things and have the same fight daily. and by daily I mean at least 1 million times a day.
But at the end of the day it is a good fight... I am fighting for Lucs teeth, manners, hygiene, boundaries, discipline and the future man he will grow into.

It is a good fight. And I need to remind myself of that (at least 1 million times a day)
