********* Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Psalm 127:3 (New International Version) 3 Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Does that help? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlifemom Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Psalm 127:3 (New International Version) 3 Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Does that help? :D Hmmm, I think I have been reading from the PLV (that's my version) that children were a punishment from Him. :D I suppose I need to get my head into the correct one huh?:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Please, like we all haven't felt that our 'blessings' are less than such at one time or another. :D We've all been there. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Well, perhaps they are being used to prune or sharpen you. :-) Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneRoomSchoolHouse Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I say what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. :D I have a dd, just turned 8, and I completely understand. I expect her to act like an adult at all times, and dh has to keep reminding me she is still a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart'sjoy Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I hear you. Sometimes I go have a private scream othertimes I even let my kids know, I'm going to scream and stomp my feet for just a minute. I usually save this for the times when I spill our spaghetti supper on the floor.:confused: Or the day the dogs destroyed a box of my cherished Christmas ornaments. My kids know that I lose it too. Today was not a scream day. I actually remembered to let ds8 know that I'd noticed he was "catching his warning lights" more and using words to solve problems with pestering ds6. He grinned a huge grin. I'm glad you posted because it reminds me that it's precisely on those awfull days that I need to let my kids know something they're succeeding at. Some days I can't find anything nice to say and I've put myself to bed because I'm exhausted. . I'm so glad this board is here and we can vent/ rant, regroup, find an action plan, and ride on.
