Proverbs 19:11 “A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.” 

This morning Caleb came to me claiming that his older brother had offended him – specifically that Aaron had bonked him on the head with a lightsaber. Later we happened to read Proverbs 19:11 so I called Caleb’s attention to it. 

I said, “Caleb did you hear that?  When Aaron bonks you and you say that it is okay or just ignore being bonked, it is for your good and God is glorified. (We’ve been talking a lot about how we can glorify God through our actions, etc.) He said, “But Mom, where is the ‘fense’ in this house? I don’t see a ‘fense’ in here.” Hmmmm. Gotta love it.

blessings,
