Welcome back to the kitchen table. As parents, it’s easy to default to no. It feels like the simplest way to maintain order and avoid challenges. But if we stop and examine why we say no, it often comes down to convenience or control. Saying no can feel like the easier path, but it’s not always the most meaningful one.
What if, instead, we looked for opportunities to say yes? As Bethany reflected on her own tendency to say no, the Lord gently reminded her, What if you said yes and used it as a chance to teach? That question changed everything. It helped her see that her job isn’t to control every outcome, that’s God’s work.
Yes isn’t about throwing out boundaries or saying yes to everything—it’s about asking, How can this be a yes? It’s about creating opportunities for teaching and guiding rather than shutting down moments.
When we trust God’s plan for our children and lean into his wisdom, yes becomes more than an answer—it becomes a principle. It invites connection, trust, and grace, both for us and for our children.
