My son was at an activity the other day and there were other boys. Some had been picking on the kids and specifically one boy. My son told me that he finally said "Why are you picking on everyone?" I asked what the boy did and he said he just looked at my me and then stopped picking on that boy. I was SOOO proud of my son for taking a stand. He is calm quiet nature type but I love seeing the leader pop out like that. I asked if he was scared when he took the stand and he said he didn't know what the boy would do and thought he would pick on him next but...he didn't. Funny how addressing the issue can sometimes cause one to think and re-direct. He said one of the boys has totally changed and been very kind and playful with everyone from then on out. What a teachable moment about standing up even if it means all by yourself. Even just one can impact many when God directs. I was tucking my dd in bed tonight and she asked me "Mom, are you stressed right now?" I asked why she was wondering and she said "Well, you have that far look and seem ummm" ... Tense? I asked. "yes." I had to admit she was right and a lot was on my mind but it took only that question for me to stop and really focus on her and let God reveal to me that I had to choose to not be stressed to realize He is in control of all. |
