My sister had a heart attack Sunday night. she is still in the hospital, the dr. is trying to find a med that she can take that will thin her blood and one that he gave her caused her to have uncontrollable constan diarhia. (I know that is not spell right).
She has been raising her granddaughter since she was 6 months old and she is the same age as my grandson. The granddaughter is at my house I told my daughter that watching children is what I love to do most in this life. He and her son is still here. I have a housefull and seems to be getting fuller. God has blessed me with a lot of patience.
Except for yesterday when grandson started yelling at me, now I don't yell, I don't think we should yell at children it causes them to be stressed, I feel you can handle them without yelling. This is p;robably because of my childhood but anyway he started yelling and i lost my patience. I didn't yell but I did tell him that he was not allowed to do that. He said his daddy yells and I said without thinking Your daddy is a bully. he is but I should not have said it. I am afraid that it is going to cause problems if he tells his daddy what I said. However he is a bully and I will tell him that he is.
It did not sound very Christian.
OK just gat a call that they need me at the foodbank.
Have a blessed day everyone.
Pray that I have not caused more problems than we already have.
God bless

Still praying for your family, Joy. How sweet it was to read that you derive so much joy from keeping the kids. Keep teaching your grandson about Jesus. He might watch how his daddy acts, but he's also watching how you act; and when he gets older, Lord willing, he'll have your kindness to remember.
ReplyDeleteLove you, and God bless!
Oh, Joy. My heart goes out to you.
ReplyDeletePrayers have gone up for your sister, already. And for you.
I understand the feelings that go with what you said to your grandson. I, too, have to guard what I say and, sometimes, I say something that after the fact, I wonder/worry that it will come back to bite me.
It is so hard!
You have this health crisis with your sister and, now, guilt and fear re: your statement to your grandson is adding to it. I am so sorry.
As far as what you said. Doesn't soun un-Chritian like to me. Sounds like the truth. Jesus didn't mince words much, if you recall. I think you can dump the guilt over what you said. Really.
I've prayed that no backlash will occur from your son-in-law. And that God gives you peace and strengthens your heart to get thru this time.
Your willingness to care for your gr-niece blesses God's heart. He sees your sacrifice and your love.
