Before anyone starts putting us on a pedestal thinking our kids are perfect here (Ha!), I just want to take a minute to share this slice of reality with you here.
Oh yes, that would be my stubborn toddler throwing a silent “I’m going to disobediently cover myself in dirt while laying here on the church floor because you told me ‘no’ and I refuse to accept that choice” tantrum.
So in case you’re curious? Boundary testing happens on both sides of the ocean. 😉
Among all ages. 😉
And through the grace of God, we Stateside and we Missionary parents will keep plugging away at well-rounded, boundary-respecting little contributions to our world. =)
Happy Parenting. 😉
Love you and you honesty. It is so eye opening to see the disobedience through chrildren actions. They are such a picture of our inward sin and disobedience towards the Father at times. I love and hate teaching little ones sometimes because they often teach us and can be hard!
Oh. Wow. That’s a pretty picture. Happy twoness.
Hehe. Their “creativity” never ceases to amaze me. 😉
Hehe. So true! How they wear the very sins on their sleeves that we try to hide in our own rebellious hearts. Ha! But what a Gracious Father who takes every single one of our stubborn selves and offers to make something beautiful out of our lives that honors His Goodness. What a Great, Great Father indeed!
