I am running a bit behind this week. If you are regular
followers of the blog, you know Momma D usually ‘imparts her wisdom’ on Tuesday
or Wednesday of each week. What can I say, other than it has been a busy week?
Reuben is spending several days with us while Momma (Olivia) is recuperating
from feeling less-than-perky. I can’t completely ‘blame’ my tardiness on
Reuben, though, because I hadn’t decided for sure what I was going to write, either. But
once again, God’s timing is perfect because when I checked Facebook this morning
I found the following at the top of my news feed:
(I have) the three best
in the world. Prayers and thoughts for Liv right now. She's in a fair amount of
pain and it’s not supposed to be that way. I'm the big brother, I'm supposed to
bear the burden to protect and ensure comfort and happiness in the lives of the
most important women in my life. Becca Noble, Mack and Macy Noble, Liv Peters,
Boo Boo Vandivert, and Emma Waggoner. I love you all.
My son, Zach, had posted this along with a picture that said
“I ©my
sister”.
I can honestly say I wasn't surprised to see this. No, not even a little bit. So why did I share this with you today? To encourage young families (even families raising tweens and teens)--that's why.
Hang in there! Don’t give up hoping your children will learn
to get along with one another because they will. Don’t quit hoping that someday
they will appreciate each other because they will. Don’t think they don’t love
each other because they do.
Continue to teach them how to share…how to extend grace…how to
forgive…how to show compassion…how to love.
Continue to share...to extend grace...to forgive...to show compassion...to love.
Make yours a home where family is
valued and treasured because they understand that when everyone and everything
else has come and gone family will still be there.
Love,
Momma D
