SCLQ – The Spank Offering

I wish I could take credit for this phrase, but I can't. The "spank offering" is such a perfect complement to the "love offering" (SCL #72) that it makes my teeth hurt a little. What does it mean? I'll allow author Beth Moore to explain it. Here's something she tweeted over the weekend:

@bethmoorelpm

Have any of y'all ever wanted to give a spank offering to someone else's child? Not really but kinda?

It immediately reminded me of two things:

1. I love Beth Moore. In addition to being amazingly kind to my family, she's got a great sense of humor.

2. This post – "Not knowing what to do about good friends who are raising punk kids."

And the funny thing is, that at some point, we've all been the parents with kids who need to receive a "spank offering." This concept isn't limited to "good parents" or "bad parents," it's "all parents."

So, have you ever wanted to give a spank offering?
