challenge #2
emily jane stole for the first time today. she was really admiring something in rhett's office and i saw her put it in her pocket. i held my hand out and she handed it right over (which shows she knew she couldn't take it). i said taking something that is not yours is called stealing. god says do not steal. if you'd like to look at it for a minute you may ask daddy. she asked, he said yes. i forget all bout it. later in the car in the backseat i over hear her say to marie "sshh. don't tell mommy." i turn around and what does she have in her hand? the thing she was told not to take!!! UTURN in the middle of the road - marched right back into daddy's office - with her still holding what she had stolen. big talk...big trouble...big tears. *sigh* i was shown the sinfulness of my children yet again today. we had another talk on the way home for the 2nd time about how we aren't to steal because god says not to. if we want something we have to earn it and pay for it. if we take something that isn't ours then when they need it they don't have it and they have to use their money to go buy another one. i told her if she was a big helper around the house she could save up her allowance money and go buy her very own. which perked her up. and which is why it is now time to get off my blog because she is standing right here staring at me waiting for me to give her some chores to do. :D yay for mommy's big helper.
challenge: train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from You.
