I love Sam's age right now. He is funny, wise, learning to articulate his thoughts and feelings, and SO incredibly precious.
Today at lunch, Kris was a bit grumpy. Usually the grumpy bum around our house is me. And that usually occurs before before I've had my morning coffee. (Maybe that's what I should have given up for Lent?! I don't want to talk about it...) So please keep in mind that this particular scenario happens far too often with me as the central character, too.
Kris was trying to help Sam in the bathroom, and was getting a bit frustrated with some whining and lack of cooperation.
So Sam, sweet, sweet Sam, responds, "Dad, don't yell at people. That hurts peoples' feelings."
Wow, how do you argue with that. If only we, as adults, could permanently impress such a truth on our own hearts.
About Me
- Sarah C
- I am a lot of things. I am a precious child of God and a follower of Christ. I am a wife to my husband, who is my favourite person ever. I am a mother to my two priceless, handsome little boys. I am a reader. And a knitter. I love puzzles and crosswords. I like to run. I am passionate about social justice, and would like to do more about that. I love a good glass of red wine, almost as much as a strong cup of fair trade coffee. I like to think and ponder and analzye. I am passionate about my children and about parenting them in a gentle, respectful way. I dream (with my husband) about living in the country, in community with others. I want to use my life to show Jesus' love to others. God is still writing my story. I am being shaped and changed - for the better. But the one constant in this journey is that I am an extremely blessed woman.
