It rained all day. I only stepped outside one time and that was to see how cold it was. But you know what, we are all starting to feel better....Micah took naps today...Victor and Kerry Johnson brought us some BBQ Ribs that were absolutely out of this world! We almost ate every last one of them! And I have to say that one of the best part was being with my wife and kids. We have been couped up in this house all week, but it has been well worth it.
The kids behaved so well today. I know that sounds simple, but this has been a real tough issue for us this past week. It has actually been an issue for quite a long time. Especially with Abigail. I know she behaves so well when we are in public and when guests are over. But there are some days where she just does not listen to Mommy or Daddy hardly at all. We have struggled so much about how to train her and guide her heart in the right direction. Well, today was definitely a very positive confirmation that she is taking strides in the right direction. I did not have to correct her but only ONE time today. Other than that she listened the first time, every time! And she did it with pleasure and gladness! While I take little credit for this I will say there are two key factors....consistency for one, and prayer for another!
Thank you, Lord for softening the heart of our little girl. You have softened ours and taught us a valuable lesson about faith through all of this. May we be good parents to all our children and train them to be mannerly, respectful, but more importantly than all of that, may their hearts honor and glorify YOU! For our tasks as their parents will never be finished, but will only change as they grow. May we be good shepherds while they are in our care.
