Wonderful Wednesday

Bible study today was great! Really felt the spirit there with us today.  I love going there because its only 3 of us at the place where I was working before I had John. We are all comfortable with one another and it allows for questions that we may have that otherwise I know I wouldn't ask if I didn't feel comfortable with the leader.


On another note, I am having huge difficulties with Kody, my 6 year old and his behavior at school. He gets a note sent home everyday.  I have tried all forms of discipline I know, from taking away TV and games/movies, spanking, and sending him to his room for hours on end.  His grades are good its just he won't stop talking, getting out of his seat, etc. according to the teacher.  I am not saying that he is innocent but I am beginning to wonder if he is really as bad as it seems that he is being.  We had parent teacher conferences in September and she assured me he wasn't the "bad kid" his daily behavior report was painting him to be, however, the notes are still flowing, rather gushing like a broken fire hydrant.  What to do, what to do???? We even had him moved to a desk by himself and thus this started the getting out of his seat problem.  The normal seating arrangements are 4 to 5 children at the same table.  Well, if I was in 1st grade and seated with 4 of my friends, I would talk too.  I guess as long as his grades are good, I should just take the rest as it is and let it be. :)


I did have some insight today during my Bible study class.  God could have populated the earth with adults if he so wanted to, right? I believe He gives our children to us as infants so that we may catch a slight glimpse of His love for us.  Because after all, He is our "daddy".  I know we can never fully understand His love for us, but I think being parents ourselves helps us to grasp the concept. Besides, we may not feel the same towards our children if they were given to us as teenagers equipped with sarcastic comments or full grown adults already filled with anger and resentment, would we??? LOL But instead we are given these little bundles of innocence to love and care for and raise ourselves to help mold them into adults just like God molds us into obedient Christians.  We love our children no matter what and the same is with our Heavenly Father.


Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!
