Children Do Listen (at times)

Well like I said in the last blog, Jessie and I would talk again about the "Molly" situation. I have to say she handled it well.

Jessie and her buddy Maddie asked "Molly" to play with them at recess. "Molly" couldn't believe it. She was quite shocked actually, but was very happy to be included. They had a great day.

When we talked later about her decision to include "Molly", Jessie was realistic about the entire situation. She said she just couldn't let someone feel lonely at school. Especially if she could do something about it. She said she felt God tugging on her heart to do something.

I told her no matter what the outcome, whether "Molly" becomes a friend or not, she showed the love of Christ. And that is all He asks us to do.

Jessie was able to listen and hear God because she was paying attention. Sometimes our job as parents is to help our kids just pay attention to God. Make choices with a purpose and not an emotion.

Just a thought....
