Follow-up to last post

Thank you all who commented on my last post.  It's nice to hear that I'm not alone!  I thought I'd update you a bit (esp. for my mom....thanks for the encouragement Mom!):

Our week has progressed better, and they've not fought over prayer in 3 days!  I adjusted and had them pray for themselves, so they can "own" their own weaknesses and sin.  Do you know what I mean?  I have one in particular that doesn't like to admit their own sin, so I thought it would be better for them to bring their own struggles to the Lord rather than pointing out their sibling's.  Anyway, it's gone better.

So this morning I was having my quiet time on the porch and intermittently watching the birds.  The hummingbirds were cracking me up, as usual.  There were 4 of them fighting over the feeder, and really, only one of them ever got to drink from it because he lorded over it like he owned it.  When another would even hover within 5 feet of the feeder, Mr. Greedypants attacked with his vicious little chatter and spread-out wings.  This went on the ENTIRE 45 minutes I was out there....constant fighting.

And I heard a still small voice say, "At least your kids don't fight THAT much!"

Glad it's going better!
I laughed at the hummingbirds. I'll try and remember that on "those days".... =P
Oh. And at least mine don't starve each other, right?
Right?
