I was in the kitchen the other night and overheard Tiffany and Emilie talking as they were playing house or whatever it was......... and Tiffany said that her baby felt warm and that she had a low grade fever so, since Emilie was going to watch her she needed to know that and then Emilie said it isn't a fever she has low blood sugar and needs some candy or juice........ I tell that story first because I think it is cute and second because our kids are listening so close to all the adults in their lives. We don't have a diabetic in our home, but they stayed with their grandparents last week and my mom and dad have diabetes. I think we forget so often they kids minds are like sponges to everything around them. They watch and are taking every action and every word we say and then concluding that if Mom and Dad say or do it then it must be OK. I am sooooooo not who I need to be in front of my kids all the time I mess up every single day and hate it......... The repentance of it is to be selfless enough to admit it and ask for forgiveness and explain it to them where they can understand...... I am so thatnkful for do overs and amazing grace. Thankful also for kids because they are so receptive to us when we are sincere.They seem to always offer us themselves so freely and not hold it against us when we mess up.
Thank Heaven for our boys and girls!!!
