Thank You Lord for My Children




I woke up this morning annoyed. Yep, I didn't want to do the same schedule like yesterday or the day before. I was up several times in the night calming Madison down from a bad dream about snakes. Actually, about the third time of being tapped on my shoulder, I was annoyed. I finally told her to go and lay by her brother, he would protect her. What?!!! I was pawning my kid and her fears off on her little brother! You know sometimes I just want to slap my own face. Why must I get annoyed by a sad, scared little girl? Anyway, I think the Lord placed my bible study for today to shape me up. Jason and I are reading a book together called "Hopeful Parenting" by David Jeremiah. Today was about teaching our children that they are special. I sure hadn't taught Madi that she was special last night...I just taught her that she and her fears were annoying me! Man, sometimes we fail, don't we! I am so thankful that we serve a Lord who disciplines us when we need it. I am also so thankful that I can repent and move on...til the next time I need disciplining!!!
Thank You LORD for my children.
